lyrics

I’m having fun in isolation
stuck in the nosebleed section
and all the worlds a stage

am I hard of hearing?
or too bored to even listen
either way, I cant complain

get busy living or dying
I just want merit for trying
to find an in between
I’m okay, thankyou for asking!
how are you? Okay I’m guessing
I still don’t know what it means

I’m getting pins and needles
and forgetting how it feels
to be normal
negotiating with the godhead
til we’ve landed on a deal
to make me normal

a stranger called about a funeral plan -
“half price on all coffins
Try before you buy”
I said I practice meditation
to get a sense of deprivation,
a coffin would be nice

It isn’t easy these days
my whole existence is prepaid
nothing’s in the bank
I just want to do right by my lady
have a house and a baby
but while I’m waiting for that pay day

I’m getting pins and needles
and forgetting how it feels
to be normal
negotiating with the godhead
til we’ve landed on a deal
to make me normal
