[Verse 1] I went digging for my soul like a miner with a lamp Found a dusty old philosopher camped out in the damp He waved and said hello then handed me the bill For all the thoughts I'd borrowed and the dreams I'd tried to kill [Chorus] Oh finding yourself is overrated they say You peel back the layers and ruin your day There's a stranger in the mirror with my face and my scars Winking like he knows all my best punchlines by heart [Verse 2] I thought I'd meet a hero or at least a decent chap Instead I got a gremlin who prefers a long nap He's got my wife's patience and my sons crooked grin But zero interest in fitting neatly in his skin [Bridge] He orders existential dread with coffee black as night Quotes Nietzsche while complaining that the void lacks wifi Says suffering and joy share the same cheap motel room And greatness always leaves a mess for someone else to broom [Chorus] Yeah finding yourself is overrated they say You hunt down the treasure and its just yesterday But I guess this mismatched bundle is the only one I've got So I'll water the weird parts and laugh while they rot [Outro] Here's to the me I found and the me I wish I'd be Somewhere in the middle is where we sip our tea I'll keep him anyway this flawed and honest wreck Because denying him would be the biggest lie yet
