Five Thousand Fish

• Artist: FennecZerda
• Description: This is something I wrote quite a while ago, but I still think it's one of my favorites. It's a anti-fantasy really, about someone who'd probably even be beautiful when they're sad. So, really it explores the beauty of a sad situation in my mind and the world without the happy ending.

Hello Addiction, How's life treating you?
Did you listen to your mother and turn in your dues?
Did Five thousand fish swim in the sea,
And you did pick one but you didn't pick me?
Were you forced and outsourced to a place far away
Where you watch your fingers dance on a keyboard and play
A dark music with no hope and no brilliant sound
A monotone office-type played in a round
With the people in the cubicles right by your own
That are so far away you just might be alone
In a world where I lost you and you lost me
In the Five thousand fish that swam in the sea.
