I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
So I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time
Cause ever since I've tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine, I've been cool
With my new golden rule
Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been
Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address
And look at the stars
Don't they remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess
Cause ever since I've tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine, I've been cool
With my new golden rule
Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been
I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne
And you wouldn't know me
If your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
This won't last longer than the rest of the day?
But you're wrong this time
You're wrong
Numb is the new deep
Done with the one mee
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight
Stop trying to figure it out
Deep will only bring you down
You know I used to be the backporch poet
With a book of rhymes always
Open, knowing all the time, I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'
I'm so alive I'm so enlightened I can barely survive A night in my mind So I've got a plan I'm gonna find out just how boring I am And have a good time Cause ever since I've tried Trying not to find Every little meaning in my life It's been fine, I've been cool With my new golden rule Numb is the new deep Done with the old me And talk is the same cheap it's been Is there a God? Why is he waiting? Don't you think of it odd When he knows my address And look at the stars Don't they remind you just how feeble we are?
