about
Another tired song. I think this might have been the first song to start with lyrics first, as opposed to musical idea first.
lyrics
i'm stuck, i've nowhere to run
i hide but everyone can see
what a big fake phony i am
nothing to offer the world
i suck on it like a leech
drinking my fill from the earth
never giving back
and shitting to fill up my tracks
light me up and burn me
let me fall into the ocean
brine me until i'm pickled
eaten and shat out again
baptise me, transform me, metamorphise me,
transfigure me, immolate me, liquify me
don't know what my soul is
or whether i have a soul
is there something immutable
or am i playing a role?
striving and stressing and running
after pointless goals
where do we go when we die?
No one really knows
baby, boy, man,
son, brother, father,
baby, girl, woman,
daughter, sister, mother,
accountant, lawyer, doctor
bum, drug lord, murderer
wearing the costumes and masks
personas in maya
the yin to my yang and the yang to my yin
gotta have the sad in the happy
and the darkness in the light
gotta have the hate with the love
the ups with the downs
kill me until I die
moving forward to return
drop me until i fall upwards
succeeding in my failure
i'm stuck and i've nowhere to run
