lyrics
So I seem to feel I’m nothing?
That’s just some humdrum existential requiem
I’ve come to know this symptom
This new blue
Every day I feel its nagging
Like some timepiece clicking constant in my brain
In vain, I match its tempo
I sing its tune
But…
There’s a promise of progress
For an interest in excess
God knows I can’t keep that up
Who am I to own this suffering?
I’ve known pleasure fit for tyrants and/or kings
It sings to me ironic
If not misconstrued
I’ve only ever known one sorrow
Bounding always toward pleasure yet to come
To reach its destination:
Nothing New
But…
There’s a promise of progress
For an interest in excess
God knows I can’t keep that up
I’ve felt an enigma
In the measure of pleasure
Yeah what is pleasure but another hole to fill
I’ve seen this part. I’ve played this game
The swollen hearts. The casting blame
The shadow war That no one wins
The mirrors for our lesser sins
I’ve seen this one. I know its name
The vague relief. The promised tame
The cloud of dust. The great chagrin
The feeling that There’ll never be…
Enough!
And…
There’s a promise of progress
In(-)equity and life expectancy
But what is life these days but time to kill?
E.G. most days I spend just sitting around
Wondering, “what’s that looming overhead?”
Casting a new shade: 2015 Blue
That’s just some humdrum existential requiem
I’ve come to know this symptom
This new blue
Every day I feel its nagging
Like some timepiece clicking constant in my brain
In vain, I match its tempo
I sing its tune
But…
There’s a promise of progress
For an interest in excess
God knows I can’t keep that up
Who am I to own this suffering?
I’ve known pleasure fit for tyrants and/or kings
It sings to me ironic
If not misconstrued
I’ve only ever known one sorrow
Bounding always toward pleasure yet to come
To reach its destination:
Nothing New
But…
There’s a promise of progress
For an interest in excess
God knows I can’t keep that up
I’ve felt an enigma
In the measure of pleasure
Yeah what is pleasure but another hole to fill
I’ve seen this part. I’ve played this game
The swollen hearts. The casting blame
The shadow war That no one wins
The mirrors for our lesser sins
I’ve seen this one. I know its name
The vague relief. The promised tame
The cloud of dust. The great chagrin
The feeling that There’ll never be…
Enough!
And…
There’s a promise of progress
