Give me coffee and pot in the morning, sugar and starch at noon,
Alcohol in the evening when there’s nothing left to do
When I’m feeling out my loneliness underneath the moon
I stand outside myself and sing a song for two
Well I’ve been here once before, Laying on the floor
Staring at the ceiling, Wanting something more
But I don’t believe my chemicals Are solely left to blame
There’s something deeper lacking That nothing can sustain
So I’m starting a new religion for my own mental relief
It’s a pragmatic decision for the benefit of belief
That god has not abandoned us, they’re simply fast asleep
Living out our lives in the visions of a dream
And no one’s keeping score, There’s no need to perform
But that monkey in the mirror Keeps wanting more and more
And I know it won’t be easy But it’s best to let it starve
To let my mind be empty and find a slower heart
When I was a little child well I used to talk to god
I would sit in silent meditations and listen for a sign
But I deconstructed my beliefs and found my faith was fraud
And that still small voice inside my head was only ever mine
And I’m learning how to trust it: my own internal voice
to guide me straight and narrow on pure unconscious choice
and if ever I should falter or fall off in a rut
then I’ll forgive myself cause it’s only a social construct
Give me coffee and pot in the morning, sugar and starch at noon,
Alcohol in the evening or sometimes after two
When I’m feeling out my loneliness underneath the moon
I stand outside myself and sing a song for two
