if we learn by experience everything's worth doing twice
create a relative morality for a hedonist lifestyle
it's time i face the music let the madness begin
you know it's all laid out in front of me with no guilt and no shame

what's the sense in crying over faint oppressive lines
when the fortunes of birth brought me all i ever wanted
just enough to feed my sense of comfort laden pride
a burden i don't want, i'm feeling aligned with my Self


it's just me
arbiter of inner criminality
it's just me
curator of this horror show i'm locked inside
i could wander and pursue a life of piety and pain
or just surround myself with vapid little whores and cocaine
the only voice to soothe me as i fall asleep at night
and i'm the only one who really cares if i should live or die
it's just me


every time you face the simple fact that you're dying
presents a golden opportunity for a self centered moment
we're born alone we live alone we die alone so
if anything is wrong with me i'm the only one to blame

spend each waking hour avoiding love and suicide
dissect me psychoanalytically but still i'm found wanting
pleasant tempered case of sweet pychosis saturnine
lucid just long enough to find the will to take on my next breath


it's just me
gentle darkness out from which i'm spiralling
it's just me
transcendant only if and when i choose to be
i could wander and pursue a life of piety and pain
or just surround myself with vapid little whores and cocaine
the only voice to soothe me as i fall asleep at night
and i'm the only one who really cares if i should live or die
it's just me


if death can keep me runnin then i'm bound to break my stride
i was born to fill these shoes and i'm the only one who's qualified
to hatch a scheme and maybe even live to see it through
but i'm not wasting any more time on you, boo boo boo

i know i'm livin rough and i'll be worn out when i'm done
but i'm gonna press my luck like i'm the only boy who's got some
and everything will work out
everything will be alright
