Aquarium

Look, no one saw the amazing
Burial of your one final dream
Only the ungrateful and mean
Gave you a shoulder for weeping

We're born in a crystal walls so clear
Comfort and safe, the ideal to cheer
The world is our backyard, no evil to fear
And we hold the power, it's what makes us real here

No need to think, no need to feel
My life is written in the captions of a reel

But outside, hell is burning with fire
War, and pain, we'll suffer in dire
Hate, greed, power, corrupting us
A cruel world, with right time to expire

My aquarium

But outside, hell is burning with fire
War, hunger, pain, we'll suffer in dire

We are protected, a sweet, gentle lie
Hiding the truth, a burden we carry nigh
We create a world of dreams that never die
Where happiness is sacred, our eternal tie

But outside, hell is burning with fire
War, and pain, we'll suffer in dire
Hate, greed, power, corrupting us
A cruel world, with right time to expire

One day the bubble will burst with a fright
The naked truth will appear in the light
The shock will be strong, we'll awaken in the night
To the real world, which makes us bleed and fight

Take a match, light your cigarette
The kiss, my friend, precedes the spit
The hand that caresses comes before the stick
