As Far as I'm Concerned - Einar Stray Orchestra

Every now and then I feel cold

Every now and then I think of

How I have grown so cynical

(as far as I’m concerned I am concerned.)

Kissing the feet of a charlatan

Eating the crumbs straight out of his hand

Beating a drum that make no sound when

(a son of a son is singing you to sleep.)

Sleepy because I’ve slept way too much

Under the sheets with digital lust

No-one is gonna reach for my trust

(need to grab a hold on what is ours.)

Hours of hourglasses turning

You never told me how to cope with

All of this space I fill with nothing

(as far as I’m concerned I am concerned.)

Under the covers

Where you’re not around

Where my body is full of shrapnels

From the killing of time

Meeting people is easy

From a bar to a bed

But I can’t meet my own eyes

In the bathroom mirror of a stranger in the morning

Pixelating the girls of that dawn

Their flesh and bones in data codes

I thought I saw their souls, I saw their holes

Every now and then I think of

Every now and then I dream of

How to become less cynical

(as far as I’m concerned I am concerned.)

Hours of hourglasses turning

You never told me how to cope with

All of this space I fill with nothing

(as far as I’m concerned I am concerned.)

The anthem of a hypocrite

Is shaking the arena seats

I wanna be the opposite

To prove you that I’m all the same

An elegy for elegance

Assumingly so elegant

But honestly I’m transparent

The simple fact that I have changed

Now obvious to all my friends

Who slipped away along the path

Because I made them lovers

Making love instead of making friends

The anthem of the hypocrite

Is shaking the arena seats

I wanna be the opposite

But I have changed there’s no way back again
