The Happy Nihilist |
| I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist |
| When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame |
| Cause we’re all players and life’s the game |
| I only take what I need, I am so light on my feet |
| I will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed |
| No moral compass for me, it’s all just natural feelings |
| Existence has no meaning, there’s no such thing as happy |
| But late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see |
| There’s something burning in me, a driving need to be free |
| Why do I sit here and think about the things that I need? |
| There’s nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream? |
| I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf |
| But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me |
| I used to read everything, I used to need nothing |
| I put my money on me, I used to be something |
| Now I can’t sleep, cause I’m not happy |
| I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf |
| But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me |
| Whoa oh oh |
| Why am I haunted by the metaphysical? |
| Is it a cosmic lie or is it literal? |
| The books I read that used to free my mind |
| Have made me more blind but the truth I’ll find it |
| I was a happy nihilist |
| Now I’m wondering why I exist |
| I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf |
| But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me |
