Epicurus

[Verse] Life can be good And we can make it so Just lick your finger, put it in a little bag The stuff inside's like salt Rub it into your young gums Feel the familiar gut-punch of fun And watch it blow out the holes in your eyes The white sun, it's a strobe light Look around you They're doing what you do Drying moistened palms on thighs Stand in softened shoes Perpetually weak at the knees Artificially eager to please I don't mind if you steal my keys Long as I can sleep at yours And then you wake up A deep and singular misery calls to me The words it says to me are these [Chorus] Oh I'm a shadow, a shell of my former self But I had a great time last night I lost all sense of it all but I ain't hitting the wall If I'm wrong I don't wanna be right See there's some deficiency in me Of vitamin E and way out of lines But I'm a Class A act, don't you know And you've fallen behind [Verse] It comes over you like a soft typhoon And if you really put your soul into it You can really feel the moon It comes in in the rain And it leaves with a warm wave It puts you in mind for throwing shapes Going apeshit at a rave And then you wake up That deep and singular misery calls to me Keeps saying these words to me [Chorus] Oh I'm a shadow, a shell of my former self But I had a great time last night I lost all sense of it all but I ain't hitting the wall If I'm wrong I don't wanna be right See there's some deficiency in me Of vitamin E and way out of lines But I'm a Class A act, don't you know [Verse] I'm like Epicurus in a torture chamber Like a man of virtue in a vice How Croesus feels in a cut-price ghetto Even then I'm trying to be nice I didn't come out a womb to boil alive in a dark room This guy can open his eyes And I'm sweating like the walls I outta go outside [Outro] Life can be good Life can be good
