Whatever, I’m Not Listening

The stories that they write, well they pencil me in 
Then they erase the part where I speak of him
And they tell me that it’s lies and its my imagination
Try to gaslight me into joining the tv station
As they all nod their heads and stomp their feet in time
And to be honest has become a crime
They say I analyse, they say that I am rude
I say that I’m just saying that I love the dude
And orange is the colour when he pulls me to the side
And tells me that I must know what it means to be alive
As he explains the world he lives in shades of grey
And he’s so focused on his mind he doesn’t see me look away
And wait for him to finish his sad tirade to sky
I know that it is awful and that we all die
As you pave the stones for everyone to walk
And the best way to insult you is to say that it’s all talk
Because you never stop to think what you are running down
You never stop to wonder what it is you drown
When you summon the lake by the graveyard ‘neath the hill
And ask for diamond eyes to take away the pill
So that you can conceive all the future that I dream
But I must break it to you I walk on a different moon beam
And he seeks to eat the bread, I can see it in his face
He’s sad for a second that a moment went to waste
And he would devour sand if it meant the grain
Would be part of him forever and ever again
And I know he’s built a cavern and it must echo true
But I was not built to be part of you
Like some Stonehenge in sidewalks, like some sunlight through the chamber
I look at you and wonder can it get any stranger
As the sad truth comes to pass that you don’t give a fuck
And that I thought you did is just my own hard luck
