lyrics

Oh, these days when I sing
Well is there really an affinity, a yearning
For much of anything
But to hear the sound of my own voice?
And these days I've been making excuses for you, you've been making excuses I hope for me too
When you talk to your friends about me
Well I hope they just think I'm pathetic
Just another quiet person with a God complex and not one with a thirst for blood
Though these days everything just reminds me of mud

And these days when I go out
My friends instill within me great doubt
We have nothing to talk about
And I hate the sound of my own voice
But it isn't your fault that I'm not any fun
Oh I'm lying, I'm lying, christ, what have you done to me?

Just a query
A test of my will
If I was just born, and somebody asked
What kind of person would I want to be?
Well, let's see
I think I'd like to be someone who's kind to the people in my life
I'd like to be nice
Still, not always believe everything that I'm told, yes I'd like to be selfless but still I'd be bold
And I'd like to say grace to the kids in the cold for making me know I'm not really that old
On the day that I met you, I would take it in stride, no, I don't think I'd think of you much
No, not much

A glass rabbit woman
