Catfish

Displayed
A trophy on a shelf
Behold a broken man
Consumed by pride

Indulge
Inside this hollow shell
I hardly know
I’m alive

A shadow cast after the flood
Two by two, by the nose, through the mud
No regret, you give what you get

Climb inside
Take a ride
Like all catfish do

Displayed
There’s nothing left to hide
Yeah, I barely feel
Like I tried

Aligned
Crawl inside this shell
Enjoy the rubber room
My private hell

Until the sun rises, life begins
Rolled up tight : Sardines in a tin
No regret, you give what you get

Climb inside
Take a ride
Like all catfish do
(x2)

Alone
Crushed inside
Living in the shadows
Of the night

Indulge
A bottle in a ship
Try climbing out
It’s sink or swim

Until the sun rises, life begins
Rolled up tight : sardines in a tin
No regret, you give what you get

Climb inside
Take a ride
Like all catfish do
