uh
uh-uh
an' even in my dreams I'm a nobody
even in my sleep I am sleeping
even in my dreams I'm a nobody
even in my sleep i am sleeping
and when i'm a king i'll be a king of something
king of nothing nothing
nothing ever was
i don't know anything about anything at all
sleep is for the dead
sleep is for the dead
i don't want to stay asleep
don't want to sleep again
sometimes i think about being dead
sometimes i think wouldn't that be nice
sometimes i think about going home but there's no home at all
and i don't know about anything
least of all who i am
i think about
i don't wanna sleep
i don't wanna sleep at all
how can you think
how can you think that sleep is for the wicked
rest is for the good and bad
i just don't wanna rest forever
i don't wanna rest cuz sleep is half of all the time
sleep is for the dead
sleep is for the dead
i don't want to stay asleep
don't want to sleep again
sleep is for the dead

i am a ghost
i am a ghost
what am i saying
what am i saying

i was left behind
i was left behind
i was left behind and how
do you wanna say a thing to me
i don't have words for you
i don't have words for anyone
i don't have words for you
i don't believe in a single truth in this universe
i don't believe in a single proof that i will love the earth
the meek shall inherit the earth they will
the meek shall inherit the earth they will
the meek will become the meat
the meek will become the meat
i worry how about how nobody knows me
nobody knows who i am
nobody knows me nobody knows
nobody knows who i am
how are they gonna find out
how are they gonna find out
i want them all to find out
i want them all to just know
and who am i
and why can't you learn that
who am i
why not just know that
who am i
why can't you know that
why can't you learn who i am
i was gonna tell you but now i don't believe me
i don't believe in myself from an hour ago
i am a ghost
i don't believe in a single truth in this universe
i don't believe in a single proof that i will love the earth
the meek shall inherit the earth they will
the meek shall inherit the earth they will
the meek will become the meat
the meek will become the meat

i wish that i had gotten started when i was younger
i am jealous of the youthful stars who populate the airwaves
i respect what lorde has done but she makes me feel bad
but she makes me feel bad
i wish i had started younger
i wish i'd begun
i wish i had started younger
i wish i'd begun
i wish i had started younger
i wish i had won
and even that said
i still dont' really know in fact who i am
i wish i knew who i am and i don't wanna learn
i respect what lorde has done but she makes me feel bad
she's sixteen and so successful
i'm almost 25 and i'm like old
i wish i had started sooner
i wish i'd begun
i wish i knew who i am
i wish i knew who i am
i wish i knew who i am
i wish i knew who i am
i just wish i knew
i just wish i knew
and don't even get me started on bo burnham

i wish i had started younger
i wish i'd begun
i wish i had started younger
i wish i had won
i wish i had started younger
i wish i'd begun
i wish i had started younger
i wish i had won

i am just a boy and i don't know what i want
i am just a boy from a little tiny town
and i think i've got big dreams but what do i want
i dunno

or maybe just impossible
impossible is nothing
so i like to say
everything is better when you risk your life
and

and i am just a boy with some really stupid dreams
vague and bluely formed but bloo de bloo de bling
and i just wanna say that i love you all so much
that's not what i wanna say
that's just what comes out
and i would like to believe the words that i'm saying sometimes
and other times i don't wanna believe a word i'm coming out with
and i don't wanna write it down
i wanna find it out
i don't wanna write it down
i wanna find it out
i
i am just a boy
i am just a boy
with some dumb and crazy dreams that i believe in
dumb and fully formed
not so fully formed
i am a lump of clay that wants to be famous
i'll do whatever it takes if it makes you love me so
and i just wanna say that i love you
that's not what i wanna say that
is just what comes out
that's just what comes out
that's just what comes out
i believe it
no i don't believe it
and
i don't wanna think ahead
i wanna find it out

Song of Lies
02:30
|
|||
and i'm losing it
losing my touch
losing everything that i got going for me
losing all my skills rapidly
i am losing my touch
and this part could be the chorus
it's the only part these drums come in
but is it memorable
does it sound cool
i am not sure it does
and i should really let you know that i lied before
when i said the drums come in only in the chorus
they come in a lot
and they are about to come in again
don't you like these drums
don't you think they're cool
i don't know what cool is
this part could be the chorus
it's the only part these drums come in
but is it memorable
does it sound cool
i am not sure it does
and yes you heard that right
i just lied again
it's just like when i say that i'm brilliant
oh i have to lie
this part could be the chorus
it's the only part these drums come in
but is it memorable
does it sound cool
i am not sure it does
and that concludes the song of lies
and that concludes the song of lies
i can't face this microphone
this is a song of lies

it's so hard to find someone to talk to
especially when it's real late at night
it's so hard to find someone to share a little something with
something that you made so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
so late at night
and everything is hard so late at night
everything is hard so late at night
late at night
it's late at night
late at night
it's late at night
lady night
it's lady night
it's night
it's so late at night

i always wanted to believe in ghosts
but they're so hard to believe in
i just wanna believe in something
sometimes sometimes i do
ghosts are hard to believe in
but i believe that's the appeal
at least for me and i don't believe in anything
i don't wanna be left behind
and i just wanna sing
i would like to be giorgio moroder or something
