I'll take some lyrics for 1000 please Alex....

I was talking to a new friend tonight, and she was telling me what she thinks about choices. Ironically enough, I wrote this last night. It's about the choice that most of us make every day to pick our stuff and our money and our own selfish desires over connection with other people. We all choose to be lonely every now and again. And this is my rant about it. It's called 'Me is Lonely'



Me is such a lonely word
It's absurd to think that I could be heard
Above the noise that i'm living in every day
The corner office is an island
Isolating us all
From the rhythm of life and the fear we might fall
Here now we've defined success
As this lexus when it's really on the next bus
And I've gotta believe that this can't be all that there is
But cutting through the cacophony
Is a refrain and a simple melody
Coming here to take me far away

Me is such a lonely word
It's absurd to think that I could be heard
Above the noise that I've been living in every day
Because life was meant to be lived together
Life was meant to be lived together
Life was meant to be lived together

Me is such a lonely word
I'm just as ignorant for all that I've learned
And the struggle rages on deep within my heart
Life has found me in a rut
Stuck in reverse running out of luck
In the quicksand suffocating agonizingly slow
We are such a crazy race
We talk love but in practice we hate
And this mask I have on is growing cumbersome
The greatest tragedy of all of them
Is the man who gains all the world and then
Keeps it to himself and so loses his soul



The melody is really chill and kick back. Kind of a surf-rock vibe to it...
