Watsky - Paper Nihilist

[Chorus]
You say that you believe that
That nothing matters
I see the logic
But do you feel it in your heart tonight?
What do you feel, feel, feel, feel, feel?
(Paper nihilist)

[Verse 1]
On some level, are we all a single entity (I don't know)
Swirling in a ball of universal energy? (I don't know)
Well, then how come when I dwell on my stupid stuff
I get stuck and I just come undone mentally?
Silly little petty human brain with my petty pain
Really tryna shackle me with vain metal mental chains
While I hold this lucky ticket, man, how could I complain?
Yet I'm here again up in my head, going up in flames
But I got to chill and scissor-kick my inner critic
Lift us over the Pacific in a floating Honda Civic
Get untethered from invented pressure, heavy as a feather
Whether trekking through a blizzard or the middle of the desert of my soul
Living is the goal, loving is the way
Suffering's the toll we all gotta pay
If we wanna roll, while we got today, day
[Chorus]
You say that you believe that
That nothing matters
I see the logic
But do you feel it in your heart tonight?
What do you feel, feel, feel, feel, feel?
Paper nihilist

[Verse 2]
Do you look at life and think that's it? (I don't know)
That humanity's a big trash pit? (I don't know)
Or we're actors in a big bad skit?
Do the cold facts fit? I don't know jack shit
But you got your right to feel how you're fuckin' feeling
I'm a plebe and I don't know what is real
I believe we should make this bucket squeal
Try, spin that lucky wheel, drive, let the rubber peal
Damn it, we're all stranded on this bingo ball of granite
But I'm singing while I'm hanging out the window of the planet
Yeah, I'm damaged, but I ham it up so you can put this ham up on a sandwich
If you're famished, you can eat me 'til we vanish, 'cause

[Breakdown]
If it doesn't matter either way
Why not go and have some fun today?
(You say that you believe that)
If it doesn't matter either way
Why not go and have some fun, fun, fun?
(You say that you believe that)
[Chorus]
You say that you believe that
That nothing matters
I see the logic
But do you feel it in your heart tonight?
What do you feel, feel, feel, feel, feel?
