Cosmo Jarvis - Is The World Strange? lyrics

Is the world strange, or am I strange? Is the world strange, or am I? Is the world mean, or am I mean? Guess I won't know 'til I die Everyone I know, I don't wanna see you anymore I don't even know what I know you for All I know is that you made me feel abnormal And mostly always, all day, as kids when we played I still felt like I had to try to be OK with you And truly, I wanted you to like me Not spite me without explanation unrightly But even as a kid my heart's what I hid 'Cause something about it and this planet don't fit I could never build relationships the way you did So you were only friends with what I pretended Every day, every minute, and now I'm stuck so far in it This game will mean d**h for me if I don't win it I'm a coward, a deserter An anonymous flirter I had me a woman but my bullsh** just hurt her Very much the same, when I was at school Felt like I was from a junk gene pool Created to be confused, should never have to choose Between what I am, and what the world understands But if I never did I would be more isolated But sure I'd be hated, so it's way better if I fake it Fake me, fake these words I'm sick of polishing this turd For this proud little planet, that can't understand it But really, it's clearly my f**ed mind that's had it I tried, don't know why, but myself was no help People saw sh** inside me It's clear that they felt it wasn't their job to comprehend So I began learning them, to spare them the expense I began my descent to the future Time here's not like when you're 8 It's real, like mistakes I just realized I made Like thinking people are worth having to suffer Painting over yourself in their favourite colour Or maybe I'm just a clock with no real face Who tried to tick-tock but could not find a pace Is the world strange, or am I strange? Is the world strange or am I? Is the world mean, or am I mean? Guess I won't know 'til I die Is the world dead, or am I dead? Is the world dead, or am I? Is the world f**ed, or am I f**ed? Guess I won't know, 'til I die And I wished you would be harsh to me And explain to my face every fault you could see Instead you were silent, yes, you let me be To continue the search for what mask you could treat Like a motherf**ing normal human being Other kids in your club didn't have masks to bring They didn't act different, and that was sufficient For them to receive all your trust that I didn't That's why I can't care now about you lot 'Cause from the beginning you never said "get lost" You never said "f** off, Cos', take that brave mask off We as a world have decided you're just not what we're looking for In a long time acquaintance, we don't like hearing Your emotionless statements And your 'I can't play ball with the world' conversations k** yourself now so in the future we're free From your songs about f**ed up personality" I always prayed that you would punch me in the face And shout "you are a waste of space, get out, my family say you can't come 'round" Wanted everyone more than they ever wanted me I worked for them, worked for their company 'Cause it wasn't really me they befriended, extended friendly courtesy It was whatever mask that I wore That applied to their sort That applied to them so much they'd answer the door When I knocked after school with my trusty skateboard And I'm paying for it now I'm a rain filled cloud that can't drop the huge storm it allowed To build up inside it, no not a single drip I can never get rid of what makes me a dick I'd say sorry, but it's not my fault I exist So just kiss my a** people I'm glad you won't miss me when I'm gone I don't want to be in your history It's just best to forget me Even if you liked me you still never met me Is the world strange, or am I strange? Is the world strange, or am I? Is the world mean, or am I mean? Guess I won't know, 'til I die Is the world dead, or am I dead? Is the world dead or am I? Is the world f**ed, or am I f**ed? Guess I won't know 'til I die Is the world strange, or am I strange? Is the world strange, or am I? Is the world mean, or am I mean? Guess I won't know 'til I die Is the world dead, or am I dead? Is the world dead, or am I? Is the world f**ed, or am I f**ed? Guess I won't know 'til I die
