Foolish Goldfish (Forever)

[Intro]
Breathe in slow…
Hum the truths we know…
Shadows rise…
Blessed be whys…

[Verse 1]
Take a moment, take a breath,
Let it settle in your chest.
What is fair, what is right?
Why do nightmares shape the night?

Stalin, Putin in disguise,
Same old hunger in their eyes.
Not the red, not the blue,
Just the ego breaking through.

[Hook]
Ohhh… round and round we go,
In a world we barely know…
Bananasutra helps you grow,
Truth is a river in the undertow.

Why chase ‘em turds made of gold?
Why trust the fake news we’re told?
Foolish goldfish in the cold…
Swimming through the lies we hold… ohhh…

[Verse 2]
Oh humanity, so blind,
Wearing veils around the mind.
Dumbed and numbed and growing growl,
Like foolish goldfish in a bowl.

Contrarian skies crack and cry,
Storms repeating, don’t ask why.
Encore echoes at the door,
Here we go to war once more.

[Hook]
Ohhh… round and round we go,
In a world we barely know…
Bananasutra let it flow,
Truth is a river in the undertow.

Why chase ‘em turn made of gold?
Why trust the fake news we’re told?
Foolish goldfish in the cold…
Swimming through the lies we hold… ohhh…

[Bridge]
Are we tangled in some pride?
Lost and drifting with their tide?
Can we learn, can we see?
Can we break the loops and be free?

[Verse 3]
Think deep now, take it slow,
Let your inner lantern glow.
Freedom’s not an outer fight,
Ego is the cage inside.

Look within, let it shine,
Light the shadows in your mind.
Every ism, every blow,
Is a mask that just won’t glow.

[Hook]
Ohhh… round and round we go,
In a mind we barely know…
Bananasutra, take a bow,
Truth is a river in the undertow.

Why chase the glitter and gold?
Why trust the stories we’re told?
Foolish goldfish in the cold…
Swimming through the lies we hold… ohhh…

Ohhh… loops beneath the sky…
Ohhh… never asking why…
Ohhh… chasing every lie…
But I try, please let’s try… ohhh…
