Lyrics

It's time to go to sleep
A break from unrelenting monotony
In a dream where I'm someone else
A fantasy where I can detach from myself
But I'll walk the straight path
Down through the boundless road
I guarantee that I'll feel empty
And that any cup will not bear my load
"I can handle this", my mantra becomes
"It'll ameliorate", after a few more suns
But I don't know that
And I don't really care
Her warm embrace felt lukewarm
The boys' laughter sounded mute
My mother's meal tasted bland
My crooked face in disrepute
God's word sung in silence
Its inscription fading grey
Feeling disconnected from his body
I'm an empty vessel, pierced by apathy
Don't try to chase those feelings
Of optimism and hopeful, happy endings
Yes they'll manifest, but only disappoint
Fulfilling duty, anticipating joy in counterpoint
But they never gather to the craving I yearned
I'll sit and smile in silence
Show empathy and love, to make you right
I deserve an oscar, at least a nomination
A petty reward, from a painful aberration
But eventually, you'll sense something's false
Our synapses disconnected
Our moments to routine
Our memories insignificant
A monotone commonality
This song was never heard
All my works will be forgotten
I am wrestling with vanity
As a mist, drawn through apathy
As a kid I used to draw stories in my scrapbooks
Hoping one day George Lucas would adapt them into a trilogy
As a manchild I ruminate at my desk
Indulging plans, hopes and experiences that did not manifest
There was no butterfly, the cocoon was just a banksia seed
And I was never a role model, I was a charismatic fiend
Those fruitful conversations bore fruit that'd only rot
All these photos together picture people I forgot
Whatever the valence, I have remained indifferent
But I long to be moved, to suck out all the marrow of life
I need to feel joy
Or unhappiness
To remind me that I'm here, right here, right now
I need to have life, with authenticity
And to make decisions with a decent weight
So give me that joy!
(Woo!)
Or make me bleed unhappiness
To feel something, I don't care just something, something right now
So fill me with life
Some conscious legitimacy
Just to want, just to sing, just to be
