lyrics

I’m searching for numbness, for a way out
For a scrooge-like compassion to everyone around
I’ll live in a cabin deep in the woods
Where the trees can protect me from feeling no good

I want the words to stay in
Compliments to stay out
And the work that I do will be work that I choose
No smiling faces wanting reciprocity
No feeling, no expectations, just me

I’m searching for what is already there
Something deep inside that I’ve been unaware of
I’ll live amongst crowds but see nothing but clouds
And the feeling I’m feeling will condense and rain down

I want the words to stay in
Where they can’t hurt no one
And the work that I do will only feel like fun
No smiling faces needing reciprocity
No feeling, no expectations, just me
No feeling, no expectation, just me
Just me, Just me
