Remember to hammer on and pull off the G string, the same as the verses.

Lyrics:

Floundering attempts at making some sort of sense 
Striving for significance - In a universe that will not give a shit 
The myth of Sisyphus 
Authenticity is important, but I'm not sure who I am anymore 
I'm at the point now where I'm also doubting who I was before 
The arbitrary nature of thought leaves me alone and paranoid 
Synonyms for a void 

Nobody belongs, time brings invalidation. 
Find selfish solace in mutual trepidation 

The absurd condition of human existence - a struggle to embrace 
I do not get the point that I am supposed to miss 
The passive submission or preferred resistance - just give me breathing space 
The meaning I used to find - overanalyzed, displaced. 
Dispense your goals and actions into something trivial 
Pick apart pointless projects, my brain sings with vitriol 
I don't reflect, I destroy with thinking 
The examined life is not worth living 

Look at my sad life in detail and you'll see it is a comedy 
Sometimes I wish I was a goat
