Trout Heart Replica

They've been circling
 They've been circling
 Since the day they were born
 It's disturbing
 How they're circling
 Fifty feet from the pond
 Pretty often
 Pretty often
 I don't want to be told
 It's a problem
 It's a problem
 It's a problem I know
 And I won't keep what I can't catch in my bare hands without a net
 It's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences
 They've been jerking
 They've been jerking
 In a pail by the dock
 I know that oxygen might
 Make them blossom and die
 But I'm not going to talk
 Feed them details
 Feed them emails
 They'll eventually grow
 But it's not working
 It's not working
 Not as far as I know
 And killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest part
 And when the wizard gets to me I'm asking for a smaller heart
 And I got you
 I thought that I got you
 now I'll ruin it all
 Feeling helpless
 Acting selfish
 Being human and all
 And they're jumping
 And they're jumping
 But they'll never get out
 Just keep touring
 Just keep on ignoring
 Be a good little trout
 And the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block
 He raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise
 Wait, we'll trade you
 Wait
 Please just one more day
 And then we'll go with no complaining
 No complaining
 No complaining
 No complaining
 Stop
 Come
 And they're cutting
 And they're cutting
 And I think that I know
 And they're gutting
 And they're gutting
 And I think that I know
 And it's beating
 Look, it's beating
 And I don't want to know
 And it's beating
 Look, it's still beating
 God, I don't want to know
 And killing things is not so hard
 It's hurting that's the hardest part
 And when the wizard gets to me
 I'm asking for a smaller heart
 And if he tells me "no"
 I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor
 Eventually I'm know I'm doomed
 To get what I am asking for
 Now my heart is exactly the size
 Of a six-sided die cut in half
 Made of ruby red stained glass
 Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
 I'll love you and I'll make you laugh?
 Now my heart is exactly the size
