Sidney Gish
Rat of the City
[Verse 1]
I would let solipsists
Plug me in the matrix
Rest in it, happy to think
Not cut out for anything

[Chorus 1]
So your taste is the best like the books that you read
But I’m not a lot like you
When we act really blank and stand in the same places
The standing’s all we do
And I don’t mean to say there’s a vat for my brain
But I’m not a lot like you
If I’m floating alone, then the liquid’s my home
And at least I’ve got the goo

[Verse 2]
Leaving, straight back to the wall
Thinking, filtering it all
Just observe, don’t say a word
Ghost town, no dogs allowed

[Chorus 2]
Upon realizing I don’t owe anything
There’s a lazy sense of glee
Down the corners and streets, I’m a rat of the city
I’m not a lot like me
Rebrand as NPC, audience on TV
My own latchkey kid I’ll be
If I’m floating alone, then the liquid’s my home
And at least I’ve got saline
[Outro]
I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what to do
But I’m not a lot like you
I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what to do
But I’m not a lot like you
I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what to do
But I’m not a lot like you
I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what to do
But I’m not a lot like you
