lyrics

i’m an odd man on even numbered years
Non-issue faux pas encumber me from toe to ear

I’m troubled by failed attempts to make friends proud
Symmetries are formed that way but the method confounds

Seven eight nine nights of sans dream sleep
Question common things but let’s not delve too deep

The fate of ours evokes no empathy
Forgetting that we brought this on ourselves

Without considering the questions we ask
And how they make us feel
Oh I must be

Bored I must be bored, like any man I’m
Bored
I’m stricken with ennui
Bored I am so
Bored like any man I’m bored
And stricken with ennui

I’m an odd man with a number of feels
It’s difficult to discern these from ideals

If I don’t make impact, I may as well be dead
But how does this apply to the occupants of the head?

Bored I must be bored, like any man I’m
Bored
I’m stricken with ennui
Bored I am so
Bored like any man I’m bored
And stricken with ennui

Forgetfulness is a sign of my flailing identity
But perhaps ideals have sealed the fate in me
Bored, so bored
I’m bored
Stricken with ennui
