I Love Myself

I LOVE MYSELF
Sleep inside all day
Write your tears away
Smoke a cigarette
Think of life and death
While others go I will remain
By the lamplights
In my room, I'll forever stay
Money's never good
Sleep is all I should
A notebook and my brain
The sofa is a train
That I ride while I remain
By the lamplights
In my room, I'll forever stay
Ditch the government
We take care of ourselves
Forget about career
Just read and grow a beard
I love myself so I'll refrain
From the spotlight
In my room, I'll forever stay
By the lamplights
In my room, I will never go away
Yeah, it feels right
In my room, I'll forever stay
By the lamplights
In my room, I will never go away

Credo

CREDO
Mothers, tell your children they'll be president
Teachers, tell your students that they'll fly
That's the way the regimen goes
The Michael Jordan style
But I am just a friendly-ass ghost
I don't wanna try too hard
I don't wanna be rich
Don't wanna be famous
I'm lovin' my life that's ordinary
I don't shoot for the stars
Or pray for the sun
I'm lovin' my life that's ordinary
I'm ordinary
I'm ordinary
Slacker, you'll never end up president
Brother, you're cool 'cos you don't try
That's the way the credo goes
Un-complicate this life
I am just a friendly-ass ghost
I don't wanna try too hard

Party For One

PARTY FOR ONE
The people are leaving on the dot
Leaving me here in this spot
I rearrange the furniture
Bring out a book, crash on the mat
(I love the mat)
I've never been quite a sociopath
But being alone is all that
I order a cake; it's cinnamon
Took out my phone: I'm a photograph
Now I get to be all by myself
Now I get to be all by myself
My party's just begun
Now I answer to nobody else
Now I answer to nobody else
My table's just for one
Takin' a shower in the dark
The body goes woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
When I go barefoot in the park
I pray to the trees for this kind of life
(This kind of life)
The traffic in here robs me of time
Alone in the wilderness is fine
Was I a monk in a previous life?
Live by a brook, sleep like a cat

Our Great Escape

OUR GREAT ESCAPE
This situation's gotten out of hand
Out of control
Too many people there
I wanna stay outside
I'm gonna lose my mind if I sit here
making conversation
Take me away from here
Let's disappear in style
It's our great escape
So don't be late
It's our great escape
So don't be late
It's our great escape
So don't be late
Great!
I'm not a people person
So call a shrink, send in the narc
But being outdoors alone with you
gives me a high
Seem to recall my life was
simple when I was obscure
So take me away from here
Let's disappear in style

BEDHEAD
Up until three, I've been awake
Honestly, it's all a mistake
Please let me be: my pillows are waiting for me
Sleep to escape, sleep to remember
Sleep from January 'til December
Sleep is all I need, people can fuck themselves
The mattress is a good friend
Let me lie down in here for a while
For a while
Just for while

Rendezvous At 5

RENDEZVOUS AT 5
Meet me at 5 o'clock by the cinema
You'll see me there walking down by the cinema
Tap me on the shoulder and say hello
The air is cool and clean when you are in Canada
I'm far away from home, so things haven't been diificult
I'm wearing that grey sweater, just do the code
Come on
Let's get some coffee and talk 'til midnight
Talk about the past, talk about the past
Coffee and walks 'til mid night
Talk about the past, talk about the past
You and me
We can talk all night
Meet me at 6:30 by the basilica
I'm standing by the fountain, I will be seein' ya
Hand manila folder and then let's go
It's good to hear that all our friends are settlin' down
I'm sick and tired of livin' the rock n' roll merry-go-round
The wind is getting colder, we better go

I Don't Belong Here
02:55
|
|||
I DON'T BELONG HERE
Everywhere I go
I search for silence
Want things to be slow
But the world is violent
I can’t figure out
Noises people dig right now
Am I singled out? (No)
I’m just having this and that
Heart attack
It’s something grave, believe me
I would die
Wishing of somewhere quiet
I don’t belong here
I should be home playing my guitar
I should be sleepin'
On my bed, not in my car
I don’t belong here
Don’t wanna be a superstar
I should be sleepin'
Just right about now
Just right about now
People are deranged
So I’m my own best friend
I don’t wanna change
'Cos I want my weekends
I’ve made up my mind
I’m happy when I’m on my own
Know what I’ve found out?
People give me heart attacks
Heart attacks
They’re something grave, believe me
I would die
Wishing there was no riot

Teenage Dreams

TEENAGE DREAMS
"Have a nice day,"
the elevator operator said
I've forgotten to pray again
The Church is hot, the sermons are so lame
Everyday
Pornography and websites on the brain
It's my escape
From cubicles and long commutes and those reality games
Everyday feels like a guillotine
All that I hold on to are my teenage dreams
Everyday is just the same routine
I wanna get back to my teenage dream
My teenage dreams
When I was seventeen
My teenage teenage teenage dreams oh
Real estate
Apartments so expensive you'd hide away
"Your money's okay,"
the automated teller machine said
It's all a mistake
The college courses swimming in your head
"Carpe diem,"
they said, "Who knows tomorrow you and I could end up dead."
Everyday feels like a guillotine
All that I hold on to are my teenage dreams
Everyday is just the same routine
I wanna get back to my teenage dream
When I was seventeen
My teenage teenage teenage dreams oh

FOREVER AGO WE SAID WHILE IN COLLEGE
I'm amused to find that we're not through from talkin'
But I refuse to see you fade away
It's so confusin', the 'rents are overbearin'
I watch the news and wish for better days
So I say
It's so unfair
It's oh so
It's so unfair
It's oh so
Should I choose my own accommodation
I'd like it small but completely done my way
I could lose all my hair from all the waitin' so
I won't abuse my body 'til you pay
Forever ago we said while in college
(That life is a miracle)
Forever ago we said while in college
(Our parents are wonderful)
Forever ago we said while in college
(The world is so beautiful)
Forever ago we said while in college
(It's best that we don't know)
I'm amused to find that sex is overrated
But I refuse to see you go your way
If I could choose, Canada is waitin'
But I deduce my salary won't pay
So I say
It's so unfair
It's oh so
It's so unfair
It's oh so
Forever ago we said while in college
(That life is a miracle)
Forever ago we said while in college
(Our parents are wonderful)
Forever ago we said while in college
(The world is so beautiful)
Forever ago we said while in college
(It's best that we don't know)

Wincy Versus Reality

WINCY VERSUS REALITY
Real life is boring
Sitting in your car
I'll lose myself in fiction
Strolling down the park
Don't wanna be sober with reality right now
I get a sketchpad
Plan a picnic in the city
Well, all my friends are in these pages
They're so pretty
Don't wanna be good friends with reality right now
I'm not ashamed
To turn my head away
From this place
Always find escape
Just close your eyes
I get to travel all around
When life is shitty
I lose my head in movies
Spend my days with the TV
Don't wanna be sober with reality right now
I sit in sofas
Dream away and drink my tea
I wish that cigarettes could
Make us all healthy
Don't wanna be good friends with reality right now
I'm not ashamed
To turn my head away
From this place
Always find escape
Just close your eyes

THUNDERCAT
Good day
Hare Krishna
I'm here, my friend
Now, did you have a good night?
Did you get to sleep till noon?
We're not getting younger
It seems so long
Since we had a good talk
Since we had it good
I'm sincerely melancholic
I've been almost alcoholic
All my friends are happily married
And I sure do feel like a Thundercat
Good day
Happy New Year
I feel your pain
"Oh, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Do you have a great career?"
Haven't found myself
at thirty-X years old
I've never been so good at math
I've never been, so do the math
I'm sincerely melancholic
I've been almost alcoholic
All my friends are happily married
And I sure do feel like a Thundercat
Goodness!
Alopecia is here again
Do carry on the good fight
And tell it like it is, you fool
Haven't thought about the words my father said
He said: "Are you scared of children?
Are you scared to be uncool?"
I'm sincerely melancholic
I've been almost alcoholic
All my friends are happily married
And I sure do feel like a Thundercat

COAST IS CLEAR
I'm gonna turn my back
Yes, it's that easy
It's Friday, I'll relax
And miss out on all the movies
Toxicity should go
The only release I know
Is hangin' around in here
Now that the coast is clear
I'm hangin' around in here
Now that the coast is clear
I'm gonna hit the sack
'Cos I'm too tired
I won't be comin' back
My brain's too wired
Toxicity should go
The only release I know
Is hangin' around in here
Now that the coast is clear
I'm hangin' around in here
Now that the coast is clear
It's a beautifully uneventful day
It's a beautifully uneventful day
(Sunshine rays)
