Trapped In An Aquarium

[Verse 1] I stand and stare into the glass

Watch the little fish swim past

Round and round, they never leave

Got everything they need

I feed you every single day

You swim in circles,

I do the same

You got your world,

I got mine

Both just killing time

[Pre-Chorus] You got water,

I got walls

You don't know there's a world at all

And I don't know what I'd do

If I wasn't coming back to you

[Chorus] We're trapped in an aquarium

Going nowhere, just getting by

You swim in circles,

I punch the clock

Watching another day go by

I feed you, my job feeds me

Is this all that we're supposed to be?

Just staying alive, doing what we're told

Safe behind the glass, growing old

Yeah, I'm trapped in an aquarium

[Verse 2] Move along to the next display

There's a lizard crawling through its day

Bigger glass and a little more room

Still no way out of this little zoo

I think about lifting up the lid

Let you run from the life you live

Wouldn't freedom feel like a dream?

Or is the outside worse than it seems?

[Pre-Chorus] Maybe you wouldn't last a day

Maybe I'd just waste away

Out there where nobody brings the food

And nobody tells you what to do

[Chorus] We're trapped in an aquarium

Going nowhere, just getting by

You swim in circles,

I punch the clock

Watching another day go by

I feed you, my job feeds me

Is this all that we're supposed to be?

Just staying alive, doing what we're told

Safe behind the glass, growing old

Yeah, I'm trapped in an aquarium

[Bridge] Maybe freedom ain't a key

Maybe it's just being scared to leave

Maybe these walls are keeping us alive

Maybe we're already dead inside

I look at you, you look at me

Two prisoners of necessity

And I can't tell which one is worse

Your little tank or this whole damn world

[Final Chorus] We're trapped in an aquarium

Going nowhere, just getting by

You swim in circles,

I punch the clock

Both of us afraid to try

I feed you, my job feeds me

And neither one knows how to leave

I could break the glass,

I could walk away

But would we even make it through the day?

Yeah, I'm trapped in an aquarium

Just swimming through another day

[Outro] I feed you

My job feeds me

You swim in circles

So do we

Yeah...

We're trapped in an aquarium.
