yeah, i read books and hear the words
of wisdom as they spill forth from
the mouths of the godlike atlantians
yeah, i like to think that when i'm
away, the eyes in the back of my head
absorb far away occurences like a god
i'd like to think i can hear all the
prayers cried at night, the one's begging
for relief or a break from simple life.
yeah, i'd like to understand every situation
maybe even have a grasp on things that have
never happened to me or that i hear about.
yeah, when i say what i think, i'm really
just talking from my ass. but since i eat
tunafish sandwiches, i know best.
when i take a shot at you, i'm really hiding
in the dark. afraid to admit that i'm smoking
away the brilliance that once was in my heart
when i take a little bit of the past
and sprinkle it over the future, i'm really
just hoping everything's the same
because then i have an easy shot at what
i know once got at your brain. maybe even your heart,
though i feel it's not a delicate part
yeah, when i think about the past and what i said
i try to forget that i went wrong too,
it's easier when i play imaginary games.
everything's just like a child's world
take a piece of candy, like momma once did,
and make it go away.
nothing i don't know about, could ever
come into play. after all, my omnipotence
reveals to me every possible pain.
but hey, when i'm inside out, i remember
that everything right here is just for shits and giggles,
even though i have rocky emotions
yeah, i'd like to think i understand everything
but i'm not sure i know myself. life isn't so serious
all the time, but i have to run
i like to escape to my land of Easiness,
to my home away from the drab. but hey, when im here
everything's really just dull, all the same
yeah, i'd like to think i understand. but i haven't ever
touched a life, just played games. the serious type,
i think. wait, life isn't such a serious thing. |
