Hooked by my mouth
I bit your bait no more swimming for me
I am a fish
people see me flopping around
smacking my head on the ground
and they watch my show
doesn't anybody hear my voice?
raise it up, but nothing comes out when I shout it
feel bound by it
wrong side down
(wrong side down)
Nothing that this fish in me can feel
cast your line on another one and reel
don't come back here this way
no, my mouth can't say you're not a fish
and that's okay
That's okay
Man think It's probably better this way
catch and release then catch me again
my mouth has started bleeding
but you could never catch what I said (I'm dead)
I said hey, I'm just a stupid looking fish
why don't you get your life on let me out of here you...
I can't scream, not with this mouth of mine bleeding
but if I could I'd scream
I won't be needing this
pain that the fish in me can't feel
cast your line on another one and reel
don't come back here this way
no, my mouth can't say you're not a fish
and that's okay (wooooaoo)
(bass and feedback)
put all my gross morose thoughts in this song
numb, slimy, cold body, I'm doing this wrong
don't you look at me with eyes and mouth
makes me feel so fake like a Kilgore trout,
no doubt I'm still a fish
to you, there's nothing to miss
I was a bright young guy, everybody called me Chris
now I'm cold, and I swim, and I eat trash and worms
why does it have to be like this!
Oh nothing that this fish in me can feel
cast your line on another one and reel
don't come back here this way
no, my mouth can't say you're not a fish
and that's okay
Oh nothing that this fish in me can feel
cast your line on another one and reel
don't come back here this way
no, my mouth can't say you're not a fish
and that's okay
that's okay
that's okay
It's gonna be okay
