fft [ca] - hobby lyrics

[intro]

[verse 1]

walk+in clinic when i was 9
started this hobby of mine
watching the fish tank to k!ll the time
don’t tap the glass, set the sign
it’s when i saw the guppy, the endler kind
from that day on, it never left my mind
“mom can i get a fish?” “no we have to get to church”
“mom, can i get one now?” “maybe after you do research”
the library was my google back then
never ever left whenever i went
never ever found a book i didn’t yet read
all the fishkeeping was stuff i studied already
“mom i think i’m ready, i won’t fail
now we wait for that dollar per gallon sale”
so many choices, so many colors & scales
long have i forgotten about my endler tale
distracted by the options i wanted to take them all
mom said i can only pick 5 so i grabbed the ones i saw
some were small, some were tall, i did not make the right call
& shortly after, no doubt, i hit that wall
the artificial decor & the lack of a rhizome
with the severe case of noah’s arc syndrome & no biome
all of a sudden, there was a burden in my my home
i stopped caring & cleaning the fish tank on my own
[?] took over the tank & also my heart
i forgot the best part of the hobby & what i had from the start
what i had wanted to start, all along
was a piece of nature, in my room, growing strong
& after a long time when i had no time to spare
i passed by a fish tank & i’ve always stopped to stare
a little endler swimming in between the java ferns
at that moment, my heart relearned what it truly yearned
so i went home & found my fish tank empty & covered in dust
dusted it off just like that & took care of the rust
“this time i’ll do it right”, i told myself, i knew i must
& i’ll share my hobby with the world, whoever finds a fund
2017 august 21
(it’s funny how things happen)
(i guess you never really know what small little things can affect you the most)
