Is The World Strange by Cosmo Jarvis
Is the world strange, or am I strange
Is the world strange, or am I?
Is the world mean, or am I mean?
Guess I won't know till I die
Everyone I know, I don't wanna see you anymore
I don't even know, what I know you for
All I know is that you made me feel abnormal
And mostly always, all day, as kids when we played
I still felt like I had to try to be okay with you
And truly, I wanted you to like me
Not spite me without explanation unrightly
But even as a kid my heart's what I hid
Coz something about it and this planet don't fit
I could never build relationships the way you did
So you were only friends with what I pretended
Every day, every minute, and now I'm stuck so far in it
This game will mean death for me if I don't win it
I'm a coward, a deserter
An anonymous flirter
I had me a woman but my bullshit just hurt her
Very much the same, when I was at school
Felt like I was from a gene pool
Created to be confused, should never have to choose
Between what I am, and what the world understands
But if I never did I'd be more isolated
But sure I'd be hated, so it's way better if I fake it
Fake me, fake these words
I'm sick of polishing this turf
For this proud little planet, that can't understand it
But really, it's clearly my fucked mind that's had it
I tried, don't know why, but myself was no help
People saw shit inside me
It's clear that they felt it wasn't their job to
comprehend
So I began learning them, to spare them the expense
I began my decent to the future
Time here's not like when you're eight
It's real, like mistakes I just realized I made
Like thinking people are worth having to suffer
Painting over yourself in their favourite colour
Or maybe I'm just a clock with no real face
Who tried to tick tock but could not find a pace
Is the world strange, or am I strange?
Is the world strange or am I?
Is the world mean, or am I mean?
Guess I won't know till I die
Is the world dead, or am I dead?
Is the world dead, or am I?
Is the world fucked, or am I fucked?
Guess I won't know, till I die
[And I wished you would be harsh to me
And explain to my face every fault you could see
