lyrics
To tell the truth, I don’t mean to lie
But I feel rude layin’ it on the line
I make tunes when I need to hide
I don’t know if you care at all
It’s something I do to forget the nights
Make it bloom in a desolate mind
Moments of gloom turns to paradise
For a while, just for a while...
I’m alright
I am aloof and afraid of heights
And I am losin’ it in the skies
I am a loser, I’m in disguise
Can I take it off yet? Take it off.
I look the opposite of beautiful when I cry
“But you’re a dude”, well, don’t be surprised
Is there something I can do to forget the nights?
I’m alone, yeah, I’m alone
The only human in the room can’t harmonize
The rhythm and the groove don’t feel alive
A simulated troupe can’t synchronize
And be one with you, and be one
Something’s missing and the mood doesn’t feel right
I need a new song to memorize
Something’s missing, is it you? Come, synthesize
And be one with me, be one... with me
