Is the World 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 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 turf

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 want to be in your history

It's 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, 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
