Conversations with the Self-Centered Lyrics by Apes of the State

This City Isn’t Big Enough

2016

[Verse 1]
Please excuse my manners for I suffer from a problem
Of believing that my thoughts won't go away unless I say them
So it might sound like I'm talking to myself when I'm deep in conversation
It's a problem that I'm working on, I thank you for your patience
[Verse 2]
But imagine for a second if I could listen to every word that you just said
Instead of getting caught up in my head trying to finish all your sentences
And occasionally letting the words slip from my lips that I want to say next
But if I wanted to hear what I wanted to hear, I would talk to myself all day instead of you
[Chorus]
Lalalala, lalalala la, I can't hear you
Lalalala, lala, I'm not listening
[Verse 3]
And now I'm hating on myself, but I'm not getting better
So I'm hating on you so it's not self-centered
Now I'm hating on you, but I'm not feeling better
And I'm hating on myself and I just need to breathe
[Bridge]
God grant me serenity, and I swear that if I make it through this moment, then I will believe
God grant me serenity, and I swear that if I make it through this moment, then I will believe in you
[Chorus]
Lalalala, lalalala la, I can't hear you
Lalalala, lala, I'm not listening
[Outro]
And sometimes when I'm playing my songs I wonder if there's anybody listening at all
But I swear to god I hope I die before I ever get bored of singing to myself
