lyrics

I had a thought
And now it's gone
It seemed so real
And now it's gone
I understood how to get along
But now that thought is fucking gone

I had a high
And now it's gone
I gave a fuck
And now it's gone
I smoked a bong to get along
And now the high is fucking gone

I had beliefs
And now they're gone
Pleasant dreams
And now they're gone
It took too long to get along
And now those ideas fucking gone

Yet the implications linger on
There's something in the air ya can't put your finger on
When ya favorite song comes on and ya can't enjoy it
That's disappointment
Being annoyed with employment
Is like being surprised to find there's a fly in your ointment
And if you spend too much time wondering what the point is
The potential it once had becomes pointless
Because you can't exploit it anymore
It's too late to compare yourself as part of the metaphor
They should put you in a box like some petit fours
And I know that's simply a simile
Really ain't shit to me
Alone or in front of a million pilgrims
When I sing I sing to me
The soliloquy stings deep
Mellowed by the misery
Solo in this hellhole having hollow, bitter epiphanies
This could be some brilliant symphony
I've got the ability
Just give me a little weed
So I can see the world a little bit differently
Addiction is a viscous bitch indeed
Ain't shit to me
So if I disappear like Mr. T
And no one remembers to leave my legacy
And I become yet another dead sea
What a joy that would be
To be free
Just as you are to disagree
Life is brief but there's no need to hurry
You've got time to make up your mind, don't worry
If the sun is no fun don't wake up early
Who's to determine which worldly journeys are worthy?
The clergy say if your journey is pure then surely
You'll receive the secrets in your dreams
But I've never taken DMT so I'm not sure what that means
I haven't even had a real belief since my teens
And I'm sorry if that's disappointing
Nobody is what they seem
Really ain't shit to me

I had a thought
And now it's gone
It seemed so real
And now it's gone
I understood how to get along
But now that thought is fucking gone

I had a high
And now it's gone
I gave a fuck
And now it's gone
I smoked a bong to get along
And now the high is fucking gone

I had beliefs
And now they're gone
Pleasant dreams
And now they're gone
It took too long to get along
And now those ideas fucking gone

I had a thought
And now it's gone
Deep philosophies
Now they're gone
I understood, how to get along
Yet of course the remorse is all that lingers on

I was high
But now it's gone
I gave a fuck
But now it's gone
I smoked a bowl to get along
But of course the remorse is all that lingers on

I had beliefs
I had wet dreams
I had fantasies and feelings I kept brief
I had faith in medicine and machines
I had ecstasy yesterday
I had mind blowing peaks
I had streaks
I had beats
The only thing I didn't have was peace
Peace of mind
I wish I could rewind
At least half the time
I spent lyin' round
Cryin' about how I spent
The time or money that I sent
Down the drain
Large percentage of my days gone to waste
Waiting for my torment to wade
Decaying
Saying nasty things about the thing I became
Clasped down by my own cynicism
Prisoner of my own criticism
Splitting myself through long division
Sitting, brooding, Indecision
Pacing, waiting, in this prison
Criticizing my disguise from inside
So I've grown to despise
My oily skin and the bags under my eyes
And even though it's been a while since I cried
Every time I smile I feel like it's a lie
Ain't shit to me
At least I realize
At least I know why
I could explain it all right now but I haven't got the time
Sorry if that's a disappointment
Actually
Ain't shit to me
