Mood Swings & Roundabouts - Don't Worry

I’m conscious of how old I’m getting

And how much I don’t have my life together

You say just forget it

Write it down and maybe you’ll feel

Life’s too short for misery

But somehow it keeps finding me

And lately it’s like I can’t breath

Alcohol, cetirizine

I read the side effects and it turns out that apparently

It can affect the way you think

Hinder rationality

But I’ve been on the ground

Tryna fall down

Right at your feet

I’m through

I don’t wanna be like you

I’m nothing but a forgotten trout

Lying on the beach covered in sand and gasping for air

My lungs have dried up and so have all of my ideas

You could wish to be something or somebody else

But your penny will get lost in the well in the middle of the shopping centre

along with everyone else’s

If you gather them all up together there would be at least a fiver

And you could buy yourself a can of deodorant or a smoothie

Everything costs money and I haven’t got any

I could got to the gym and get a lobotomy

But I’d still feel the weight of the world on top of me

There’s nothing here stopping me

All this philosophy

But I still let the tiny things bother me

I’m through

I don’t wanna be like you

I don’t wanna do the things you do

I don’t wanna run away or pass the blame

I don’t wanna be like you

I don’t wanna do the things you do

I don’t wanna run away or pass the blame

I’m through

I don’t wanna be like you

I don’t wanna do the things you do

I don’t wanna run away or pass the blame

I’m through

I don’t wanna be like you

I don’t wanna do the things you do

I don’t wanna run away or pass the blame

I’m through

I don’t wanna be like you

I don’t wanna do the things you do

Another day in paradox

Old clowns in new towns

Authoritarians with fake news and vegetarians with suede shoes

I wrote you a note but it got lost in the post-modernism

We act like everything we’re doing is so important But we know it isn’t

The aliens in my television, my screams of indecsion make me mistake all my

frustration for wisdom

Repeat, repeat on borrowed sleep

Round and round and round we go

Where are we going?

No-one knows

I don’t wanna sleep my life away but I do it everyday

It seems like Winter lasts forever and Summer never happens

The agony of apathy

Learn to love what you’ve got and not what you wish you had

How do I hang loose in an uptight world?

And how do I have grey hair and acne at the same time?

Compare our salaries and our sanity and then trade it all for vanity

The constant dichotomy of human psychology

See the truth is like poetry and most people hate poetry, even me

The most important thing is nuance and interaction

And that’s why I keep telling everyone to watch the sopranos

I struggle to do anything at all if my heart’s not in it

First class train carriages are not for second class citizens

The futures so uncertain so just shut the curtains
