Catfish - Adolescents

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

Climb inside

Take a ride

Like all catfish do

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
