Albert Camus

Did you ever read Albert Camus? The bit about how you gotta turn away From the world to understand it Did you feel this too? I was in a mindless kind of queue And then I went a pulled myself right out Found things just got a bit wilder Haven't you heard right? It's a truly absurd life Tomorrow you could be a big hole And the next day you could be a king Can't return to my old ways When the nothingness held up the days And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you I used to think nothing of the end Repeating each day was my forte Spinning out time like a spider with a web Devouring every second I was fed But then I went and sailed right out, got lost Found things just got a bit lighter Haven't you heard, love? It's a truly absurd love Tomorrow you could be a big kiss And the next day you could be a stone Can't return to my old lives Quite oblivious to all of the signs And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you Invited to the feast I only had one grape Always arrived ahead of time But turned out I was late I can see now the world does not care And that's okay with me So I never really needed a boat to sail out to the sea Haven't you heard right? It's a truly absurd life Tomorrow you could be a big hole And the next day you could be a king Can't return to my old ways When the nothingness held up the days And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you Haven't you heard, love? It's a truly absurd love Tomorrow you could be a big kiss And the next day you could be a stone Can't return to my old lives Quite oblivious to all of the signs And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you
