The Dude

Feel the vibes
The dude uh... lies

I've been sitting here watching grass grow
Always on my own like some lost soul
I've been waiting here watching paint dry
Confrontation always leaves my hands tied
Lord won't help me and god I know why
With the opposition I lie when it's time
Boredom got me thinking I might die soon
Demons in my closet no more room goodbye
Clouds might pour that's my mind's gloom
Revisit the instances that I wasn't with you
Insist to invest in a vest with bulletproofs
So I can just tuck the position inside my boots

Kick the bad habits and see the goodness in what I do
Get a clue smoke and mirrors won't work now
Like a dumb trust fund kid with bottomless cash flow
Moved from the other side cuz now there's no yard to mow
Wish I could float so down the sewer I go all on my own
No don't need encouraging words
You better understand I swim with the birds and fly with fishes
These celebrities stealing my death wishes
Nihilistic I tie the room together you split it
You sound as pissed as Jeff Bridges
I burn and throw your whole case over bridges you won't miss it
It's all broken the whole system
I wish I could say my heart isn't
I wish I could break the whole prism
Brighten my whole pigment
I wish some shit turned out different but that's how it go
It is what it appears to be and life goes
Like ghosts it'll haunt you if you can't let it go so let it go
And who knows maybe running from pain won't leave you angry and broke
But what do I know

I've been sitting here watching grass grow
Always on my own like some lost soul
I've been waiting here watching paint dry
Confrontation always leaves my hands tied
Lord won't help me and god I know why
With the opposition I lie when it's time
Boredom got me thinking that I might die soon
Demons in my closet no more room goodbye
Clouds might pour that's my mind's gloom
Revisit the instances that I wasn't with you
Insist to invest in a vest with bulletproofs
So I can just tuck, never mind, I tried

Nothing matters
There's peace in nihilism
You don't matter
I certainly don't matter
It's all contrived senses of purpose and meaning and bullshit
Until we eventually succumb to natural causes
Or get hit by a bus
Or overdose
Let it all go
Be you
Help others
Spread love
Realize there's nothing
Wholly nothing you can do to prevent our demise
