beyond the glass

You tell me that you think you know me
Better than I know myself
Do you think that you could show me
Without defending yourself?

I keep waiting for the tide to turn
I guess that some fish will never learn
That there is an ocean out beyond the glass
And yet it's better, somehow
To stay inside this

If only you could control me
A crab inside a shell
Maybe one day you'll be happy
For now, the clanging of a bell

I keep waiting for the tide to turn
I guess that some fish will never learn
That there is an ocean out beyond the glass
And yet it's better, somehow
To stay inside this

Room

You keep on swimming around
You keep on swimming
Don't you ever get tired of the motion?

You keep on swimming around
You keep on swimming
That's a lot of devotion

Don't you get tired of it all?
Doesn't it seem counter-logical?

I wish that you could check out all this coral
Out on the sea
Out here with me
