lyrics

Demon on the right shoulder angel on the polar
I'm standing in between taking a minute to think it over
Angel on the left shoulder demon on the polar
Booth stand on chips like pillars that grow as I get older
Demon on the right shoulder
Angel on the polar
Angel on the left shoulder
Demon on the polar

On the one hand
I've got plenty faith
Because I wake up everyday
Turn around and face these fakes
On the other hand
I don't believe in shit
Just another twenty something
Depressed existentialist
Demon on the right shoulder
Angel on the polar
Malcontent in the middle
Wake me when it's over
Angel on the left shoulder
Demon on the polar
Atheist in the middle
But my faith could break boulders
Camus and Beckett keep on
Fighting for my paradigm
Does it matter? Does it not?
Will I survive this time?
Camus and Beckett keep on
Fighting for my paradigm
Guess it means that Beckett wins
As long as I keep writing rhymes
Does it matter even if
it matters to us
Either way one day not too far away
We'll all be dust
I've been asking questions for years
And getting no response
So sorry if it seems I'm in the middle
Just a little lost

Demon on the right shoulder angel on the polar
I'm standing in between taking a minute to think it over
Angel on the left shoulder demon on the polar
Booth stand on chips like pillars that grow as I get older
Demon on the right shoulder
Angel on the polar
Angel on the left shoulder
Demon on the polar

Demon with a death grip
Angel with a sly grin
On a Wisconsin death trip
Singing along to sirens
They're sitting on my shoulders
And I get advice in stereo
I can hear you talking
But I don't think you exist tho
Me, myself,
I, and my paradigm
Keep on trying to work it out
But we just can't see eye to eye
I change minds
depending on my part of speech
Because my morals get redefined
By who speaks on what I preach
Speak love in praxis speak from the
Heart and preface actions
Yeah I know they hating
But the hate is just distractions
Me, myself
I, and my paradigm
I'm not sure that I exist
But I know that I'll be fine
Me, myself
I, and my paradigm
I'm not sure that I exist
But I know that I'll be fine...
