Nihilism Gives My Life Meaning
Remember lying on your back
Face tickled by the grass
As you gaze at all the stars
And try to feel like it's all connected
And we belong
And it's fun to sing about
The end of the world
It keeps me distracted from
Wondering what we have to lose
And terrified I try not to look away
Take a fist full of dirt
And try to stay
Grounded
As I let my mind wander
And the mental walls drop
I remember how huge it all is
And how much I contain that has
Nothing to do with who I am
And I take a deep breath and start
Tracing constellations with my eyes
Imposing order that generations have
Relied on before
And terrified I try not to look away
Take a fist full of dirt
And try to stay
Grounded
As the sky looks more two dimensional
And I can put whatever is me
Back inside for another night
And we belong
The next morning I wake up
And I buy some stuff
Probably hoping it will help me to define
My relationship with life
And slowly my things and my to do lists
Stack back up into walls
And I feel contained
Once again forgetting that there's nothing real to end
Nothing real that I understand
Face tickled by the grass
As you gaze at all the stars
And try to feel like it's all connected
And we belong
And it's fun to sing about
The end of the world
It keeps me distracted from
Wondering what we have to lose
And terrified I try not to look away
Take a fist full of dirt
And try to stay
Grounded
As I let my mind wander
And the mental walls drop
I remember how huge it all is
And how much I contain that has
Nothing to do with who I am
And I take a deep breath and start
Tracing constellations with my eyes
Imposing order that generations have
Relied on before
And terrified I try not to look away
Take a fist full of dirt
And try to stay
Grounded
As the sky looks more two dimensional
And I can put whatever is me
Back inside for another night
And we belong
The next morning I wake up
And I buy some stuff
Probably hoping it will help me to define
My relationship with life
And slowly my things and my to do lists
Stack back up into walls
And I feel contained
Once again forgetting that there's nothing real to end
Nothing real that I understand
