My Name Is Stephen
Is it really me, or am I having a nightmare
I'm stuck in this fishbowl and people stare
First of all, do they not know that I am a goldfish?
Surely they know that I deserve better than this
This kind of treatment, I cannot simply dismiss
More water, a bigger bowl, I can only wish
My lips are kissing the wall, for crying out loud!
Surely, by Fish and Game, this is not allowed
Do they comprehend that I need more space?
Are they aware that I see their indifferent face?
O God, it's just a matter of time before I'm in heaven
My name's Stephen, it's 6am, and I'm lucky if not dead by 7
