Aquarium - Various Artists

Written by：Me'Shell Ndegeocello/Camille Saint-Saëns

I'm a fish in an aquarium

Cut off from the outside world

The water's always lukewarm

And I observe

Hardly anyone takes notice of me

But I am here

Quietly floating

My lips moving

Just like yours

Always in motion

You never seem to rest

Through my reflection

I watch you

Why do you keep me here like this

I'm a fish in an aquarium

Cut off from the outside world

The water's always lukewarm

And I observe

No storms in these waters

So quiet they're turning stale

Sometimes the tension

Keeps me hanging on each day

Each day

Will you starve me or feed me

I never really know

This love

My mountain

My detention

I'm dying slowly

I'm a fish in an aquarium

Cut off from the outside world

The water's always lukewarm

And I observe

I just want to fall

Fall

I'm a fish in an aquarium

And so I will remain

Where I slowly stir the water

And everyday's the same

The same

The same

The same

The same

The same

The same
