lyrics

This body that I inhabit seems to feel like my true self
But that ain’t right, no that ain’t right
I never met the landlord cause we both keep to ourselves
But you know what I heard? I heard he is somethin’ else
My roommates won’t keep quiet always singing in my head
One day we’ll get evicted and the songs will come to an end
But I’ll find a new life, yeah cause I was just renting

I've been feelin' like a puzzle piece with edges that have worn away
Gotta space to fill, but I can easily slip away
Everyone around me seems to know how to play the game
So what's the matter with me? Why can't I do the same?
Tryin' to make a record of the thoughts streaming through my head
Words only work if they are said
But the younger generation doesn't understand a word I say
So what's the use? They only speak in acronyms

I’ve been searching for some meaning I can feel deep within my bones
It is lost to me, but somehow the marrow knows
I should probably surrender and accept who and what I am
Just a drop in a pool, but I make the pool less shallow
So just sit back, relax, have a drink with me old boy
To the end of the world, to the end of the world
It’s gonna be a while til’ we all meet up again
Cause there ain’t no hourglass, no, there is only sand
