Small fish

lyrics

Small Fish

His life was based on a true story
Not his own, of course
Always a small fish
in a big pond
The pendulum swayed above him
in the sealight
Love me
Trust me
Love me
Taste me
Aware of the consequences
As his bruised lips would testify
He swam towards it anyway
Knowing that he was far too small
to fill anyone’s belly
He liked his short time
in different light
on the deck of the boat
with the bigger fish.

Away from his emotional heart
He would whisper stories
Of loss
Of pain
Of joy
to anyone who would listen
hoping that the tales would live
after he had gone
Eventually he would be picked up
and the hook removed
Sometimes with care
but mainly with venom
before being cast back
to chase inspiration
amongst the coral
in the Sea of Emotion
For he was indeed
a small fish
in a very large pond.
