Climing the ocean stairs Flipping through neon pages of "I don't care" My copious apathy makes me scared But really, I probably feel this way Because my mentality is stuck in: "life's not fair" mode I can't seem to reset my brain It likes to fight, sleep and dream away My dreams are so vivid and so real It feels better to live out my adventures In my dreams
I'm Holden Caulfield I'm a brat I think everyone's a phony But I know I'm just a hypocrite, Because I'm a phony too in a way I just see all these people So locked into a system of capitalism, Locked into vanity and materialism and self centered-ness I think they're stupid and dumb They complain about what goes on in the world But they're a apart of the problem I am too, but I least I don't have this whole song and dance to try to woo people Seriously, at this point I'm just going to be my eccentric self And not care about people's opinions Because I know I'm not perfect, But at the end of the day, I'm not self absorbed, and I'm out there being kind and doing little deeds of kindness I put kindness first, But even with me, kindness doesn't always win
I told someone at work that I'm going to Live off the grid because I'm tired of society And he said "but you won't have anyone to talk to" And I said "I'll talk to the trees and animals" Like some sort of Snow White I wish I could tolerate people better, But I have this strong inclination to Slap the phoniness out of people, And it's becoming more difficult to restrain Day by day Ignorance truly is bliss Because being able to see so clearly That each person is the source of their misery has got me going crazy! Because even I can't snap my fingers And be be released of all my negative patterns! They're like chains, or A maze I'm stuck in, that I have to keep repeating over and over again.
