Is The World Strange? Lyrics - Is The World Strange Or Am I Strange? - Cosmo Jarvis

Is the world strange, or am I strange 

Is the world strange, or am I? 

Is the world mean, or am I mean? 

Guess I won't know till I die 

Everyone I know, I don't wanna see you anymore 

I don't even know, what I know you for 

All I know is that you made me feel abnormal 

And mostly always, all day, as kids when we played 

I still felt like I had to try to be okay with you 

And truly, I wanted you to like me 

Not spite me without explanation unrightly 

But even as a kid my heart's what I hid 

Coz something about it and this planet don't fit 

I could never build relationships the way you did 

So you were only friends with what I pretended 

Every day, every minute, and now I'm stuck so far in it 

This game will mean death for me if I don't win it 

I'm a coward, a deserter 

An anonymous flirter 

I had me a woman but my bullshit just hurt her 

Very much the same, when I was at school 

Felt like I was from a joke gene pool 

Created to be confused, should never have to choose 

Between what I am, and what the world understands 

But if I never did I'd be more isolated 

But sure I'd be hated, so it's way better if I fake it 

Fake me, fake these words 

I'm sick of polishing this turd 

For this proud little planet, that can't understand it 

But really, it's clearly my fucked mind that's had it 

I tried, don't know why, but myself was no help 

People saw shit inside me 

It's clear that they felt it wasn't their job to comprehend 

So I began learning them, to spare them the expense 

I began my decent to the future 

Time here's not like when you're eight 

It's real, like mistakes I just realized I made 

Like thinking people are worth having to suffer 

Painting over yourself in their favourite colour 

Or maybe I'm just a clock with no real face 

Who tried to tick tock but could not find a pace 

Is the world strange, or am I strange? 

Is the world strange or am I? 

Is the world mean, or am I mean? 

Guess I won't know till I die 

Is the world dead, or am I dead? 

Is the world dead, or am I? 

Is the world fucked, or am I fucked? 

Guess I won't know, till I die 

And I wished you would be harsh to me 

And explain to my face every fault you could see 

Instead you were silent yes you let me be 

To continue to search for what mask you could treat 

Like a motherfucking normal human being 

Other kids in your club didn't have masks to bring 

They didn't act different, and that was sufficient 

For them to receive all your trust that I didn't 

That's why I can't care now about you lot 

Coz from the beginning you never said get lost 

You never said "fuck off, Cos take that brave mask off" 

We as a world have decided you're just not what we're looking for In a long time acquaintance, 

we don't like hearing your emotionless statements 

And your 'I can't play ball with the world' conversations 

Kill yourself now so in the future we're free 

From your songs about fucked up personality 

I always prayed that you would punch me in the face 

And shout you are a waste of space get out my family say you can't come round 

Wanted everyone more than they ever wanted me 

I worked for them, worked for their company 

Coz it wasn't really me they befriended, extended friendly courtesy 

It was whatever mask, that I wore 

That applied to their sort 

That applied to them so much they'd answer the door 

When I knocked after school with my trusty skateboard 

And I'm paying for it now 

I'm a rain filled cloud that can't drop the huge storm it allowed 

To build up inside it, no not a single drip 

I can never get rid of what makes me a dick 

I'd say sorry, but it's not my fault I exist 

So just kiss my ass people 

I'm glad you won't miss me when I'm gone 

I don't wanna be in your history 

It's just best to forget me 

Even if you liked me you still never met me 

Is the world strange, or am I strange? 

Is the world strange, or am I? 

Is the world mean, or am I mean? 

Guess I won't know, till I die 

Is the world dead, or am I dead? 

Is the world dead or am I? 

Is the world fucked, or am I fucked? 

Guess I won't know till I die 

Is the world strange, 

(Is the world strange) 

or am I strange? 

(or am I strange) 

Is the world strange, or am I? 

(why's the world so strange) 

Is the world mean 

(Is the world mean) 

or am I mean? 

(or am I mean) 

Guess I won't know till I die 

(Guess I'll never know) 

Is the world dead 

(Is the world dead) 

or am I dead? 

(or am I dead) 

Is the world dead, or am I? 

(why am I so dead) 

Is the world fucked 

(Is the world fucked) 

or am I fucked? 

(or am I fucked) 

Guess I won't know till I die 

(guess I'll never die)
