Goldfish (Demo)

How many times can I learn the same lesson Before I should go get some medical testing My mind is a spaghetti strainer In my left ear and then right out the other I'm retaining less info that when I was in junior year But I keep going over it, over and over Forgetting and relearning slower and slower and slower 'Til it's over But I've been a goldfish all of my life Thought I was swimming a straight line By keeping the glass on one side I can circle the tank in the blink of an eye But I'll forget what I just saw In the same time Making the same mistakes that I made last year It's wasting my time but not the pain that I fear And growing older, but not wiser How many times can I learn the same lesson It's my self-respect not my patience I'm testing With you But I've been a goldfish all of my life Thought I was swimming a straight line By keeping the glass on one side I can circle the tank in the blink of an eye But I'll forget what I just saw In the same time How many times can I learn the same lesson Is keeping my heart soft a shield or a weapon now I heard someone say that ignorance is bliss And all I ever wanted was just happiness So I'll be a goldfish for the rest of my life Don't matter if it's a straight line Just keep the glass on one side Watch me circle the tank in the blink of an eye I can forget what I just saw In the same time
