"Fishbowl" an original piece by Stephanie Gutierrez-Diaz in collaboration with Ellen Ryan

Lyrics:

Picture perfect memories,
lay scattered at my feet
I had so many dreams
things I thought I would achieve

So blind I couldn't see,
couldn't see my spiraling
I dug my own grave
in this watery hell I'll stay

Dancing the night away
In the stars I thought we'd stay
Why's my heart feeling this way?

So I'll just stay here in my fishbowl
after burning every bridge that led me home
I just wanna go to sleep
But still you haunt me in my dreams

Through my glass wall I can see
People moving on from me
Shadows dancing round' the room
Oblivious to my drowning doom

You made sure that I could see
How your new picture cut out me
Barricaded by these walls
When did the gates become so tall?

Dancing the night away
What happened to all those stars we made?
Will I forever feel this way?

So I'll just stay here in my fishbowl
after burning every bridge that led me home
I just wanna go to sleep
But still you haunt me in my dreams

I don't know what to say
I guess I'll start with I'm sorry 
things ended up this way

I just want it all back
but even if I could 
I wouldn't take your hand

Dancing the night away
So what happened to all those stars we made?
Will I forever feel this pain?

So I'll just stay here in my fishbowl
after burning every bridge that led me home
I will finally go to sleep
No longer will you haunt my dreams

Eyes fade to black
I can't say I'm sorry things ended up this way
