Cameo

You ever just lose it

You ever feel that

Nothing we're doing worth a damn

All of these dreamers

All of these believers

None of it count for anything

The big prank man plays on man

Lately the world makes me unhappy

Kids staring in the tv screens

Nobody wants to admit they're lonely

Maybe (they) don't know what lonely means

That's what it is though all of us alone

All of us watching our little shows

I'm star of my movie everything I see

Into the script and on it goes

Is your little cameo

I'll go out walking late at evening

I'll try to focus on my breath

Most of the time though I end up running

Like I'm being chased inside my head

And every day the very same

Then nothing wages at the gates

I see the sun fill up the sky

And later wide wrapped down to waste

And then the bone beneath the hand

And then the skull behind the face

This is not who I am, this is what I became

I count my blessings

A house and all our things

The girl of my dreams

That's now my wife

But if I'm so lucky if I'm so happy

Why do I lie awake at night?

Why am I angry all the time?

I look in the eyes of people strolling

In the supermarket aisles

Today I passed two young girls laughing

I imagine their blood running on the tiles
