Goldfish - Siobhan Donaghy

Lost is where she feels at ease

It’s written in a code

She can’t read

It haunts her

And how, how can there be hope

When she lives it out in fear

On the edge

She’s wanting

It drove

Drove her to despair

Not knowing which way to turn

A mental barrier

People comfort her

Through the wasteland deep within her mind

Can she break it out while a trap unfolds

She prays, falls down on her knees

She writes them full of hope

Believes in them

And they help her

They drove

Drove her to the edge

Not knowing which way to turn

A mental barrier

People comfort her

Through the wasteland deep within her mind

Can she break it out while a trap unfolds

They drove

Drove her to despair

Not knowing which way to turn

A mental barrier

People comfort her

Through the wasteland deep within her mind

Can she break it out while a trap unfolds

She will fight it out

'Til her strength gives out

Should she flow like a goldfish in a bowl

She doesn’t see it out her solitary world
