[Verse 1] I bought a map to lose my way, A compass pointing yesterday. My shadow quit, it found a raise, Now it works predictable days. I planted clocks inside the rain, To see if seconds could grow grain. The scarecrow laughed, the crows resigned— “We’ve never met a saner mind.” [Pre-Chorus] The mirror says, “You’re looking great!” My coffee whispers, “You’re running late.” The universe keeps sending signs… They’re all addressed To someone else. [Chorus] I’m professionally confused, Elegantly self-abused. Building castles out of smoke, Selling ladders to a joke. I chase horizons standing still, Pay my taxes to free will. Everything is less or more— Nothing fits… And I adore. [Verse 2] I wear umbrellas in the sun, Apologize to everyone. My goldfish gives philosophy, While houseplants judge my honesty. I found success beneath my bed, It asked for rent and then it fled. Failure waved and bought me tea, Saying, “You’re improving beautifully.” [Bridge] My ego joined a yoga class, My pride got stuck inside the glass. Logic packed and moved away— It sends postcards every May. [Final Chorus] I’m delightfully absurd, Dancing with my favorite word. If perfection knocks tonight, I’ll pretend I’ve left the light. Life’s a circus wearing ties, Truth is hiding in disguise. Laugh before the rules appear— That’s why I’m still happily here. [Outro] Less or more… Who keeps score? Smile… The paradox already won.
