Fish Out of Water
Today I haven't done anything
Not a word has escaped my mouth
Not a spark to set fire to the page
Who am I to act like a king
When more and more, before me
Others paint a better scene
Yesterday I thought I was special
Not a doubt that I had it all
That I was at the highest level
Who's to say that it was even me
How could a man so boring
Fall from a man at such a peak
Destiny, prodigy
Not a man, out of reach
Mythical, spiritual
Or unforgettable at least
Tell me, who am I
Now that it's all over
Is there anything worth doing that I've not already done, tell me
What good am I as a composer
If I burn out so silently
Wasting away so violently
Not a man
Just a fish out of water
Yesterday I was only a kid
With my world around my ability
Dreaming of a future just for him
Who wouldn't lose their self to wonder
Exploring your own universe
And letting it pull you further under
Today, that day feels so far behind
Like a different life that could've been mine
A depressing thought that robs you of your mind
Who was I then to feel so much joy
From something that drains me today
Endless disappointment, a mistake
Useless king, stupid king
Wasted potential
Out of reach, on a crutch
Out of touch, cast out to sea
Tell me, who am I
Now that it's all over
Is there anything worth doing that I've not already done, tell me
What good am I as a composer
If I burn out so silently
Wasting away so violently
Not a man
Just a fish out of water
Not a word has escaped my mouth
Not a spark to set fire to the page
Who am I to act like a king
When more and more, before me
Others paint a better scene
Yesterday I thought I was special
Not a doubt that I had it all
That I was at the highest level
Who's to say that it was even me
How could a man so boring
Fall from a man at such a peak
Destiny, prodigy
Not a man, out of reach
Mythical, spiritual
Or unforgettable at least
Tell me, who am I
Now that it's all over
Is there anything worth doing that I've not already done, tell me
What good am I as a composer
If I burn out so silently
Wasting away so violently
Not a man
Just a fish out of water
Yesterday I was only a kid
With my world around my ability
Dreaming of a future just for him
Who wouldn't lose their self to wonder
Exploring your own universe
And letting it pull you further under
Today, that day feels so far behind
Like a different life that could've been mine
A depressing thought that robs you of your mind
Who was I then to feel so much joy
From something that drains me today
Endless disappointment, a mistake
Useless king, stupid king
Wasted potential
Out of reach, on a crutch
Out of touch, cast out to sea
Tell me, who am I
Now that it's all over
Is there anything worth doing that I've not already done, tell me
What good am I as a composer
If I burn out so silently
Wasting away so violently
Not a man
Just a fish out of water
