Thoughts Of A Repentful Nihilist

Theme: Five Minutes

lyrics

I remember the days
Before despair and seclusion
I think about it a lot
The isolated malaise
Hate to break the illusion
That all that is is not

CHORUS
I pretend like we all do
Nothing really matters at all
I pretend like we all do

If you could show me a sign
That anything we make here matters
It might lighten the mood
But all your culture's benign
Your facade starts to shatter
If you change the way that it's viewed

CHORUS

Call me a grump and a loner
Call me a nihilist if it matters to you
Once you've assigned all your labels
Keeping track of me, what good'll it do?
(x2)

CHORUS

If it's as easy as just flipping a switch
And you can remove my enlightenment
To make me think like you
Take me out of the pits
Into a constructive environment
Do what you gotta do

I wanna see the world like you do
Even if I'm just a brain in a vat
A simulated worldview
Is there really such an issue with that
(x3)

CHORUS
