Sidney Gish
Rat of the City (Audiotree Live Version)
[Verse 1]
I would let solipsists
Plug me in the Matrix
I'd rest in it until I'm happy to think
I'm not cut out for anything

[Chorus]
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
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]
I'm leaving, straight back to the wall
Thinking, and I'm filtering it all
I just observe, and don’t say a word
In this ghost town, no dogs allowed

[Chorus]
Upon realizing I don’t owe you a thing
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, 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
