Titus Andronicus - Lonely Boy lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

You ain't gonna live no betta

Just laugh and stare at the ceiling

There's nothing a man could give me the feeling

Around that I'm the only one that could hurt my feelings

I'm staying inside today! I'm not hiding away

I spend it with Howard Jones and often his city

There ain't no mercy and there ain't no pity

And who will you turn, there are hundreds of humans

I hope pulling the door saying hello, 'human'

And hearing people hear themselves talk

Until you lose your fingernails when you should have been shot

I heard this way I tell the struggle under seconds copped

And here is the riches, mightiest guy on the block

Oh, I'm living alone, I'm living alone

(Chorus)

Cuz I just want to be alone

So don't tell me to return the phone

Why in the world would I hate you more?

When every day's the same, feeling antisocial

I'm minding my own business like mine's is supposed to

So when I get home, no-one's going local

Shot down tearing local, now the robot, yeah!

(Guitar solo!)

(Verse 2)

People try to confuse me

And people try to abuse me

And people try to frustrate me

And people try to castrate me

Aha, people messing with my mental

That's why they just do a curse

They eat themselves

I been walking around, I'm tryna love myself

And I wanna talk to animal loves you

I'm living alone

I'm living alone

(Chorus)

I just want to be alone

I don't wanna tell em I chose the Jones'

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna own

I don't wanna feel my white chromosome

So don't look at me like I ain't full grown

Oh, welcome to the terror dome

Lock the terror, lock them all

(Outro)

The only one comin' on the street

Betta get out the way

The first was landing meat, so what we gonna pay?

I said definitely, I was feeling like a loser

No indecision to win

Yeah, mediocre life, now it's gon' destroy again

Hey, I really hate to be awake

Stay away, I don't wanna hurt you!

Stay away, I don't wanna hurt you!

A lonely boy, a lonely boy
