The Cla**ic Crime - The Happy Nihilist lyrics

I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame Cause we're all players and life's the game I only take what I need, I am so light on my feet I will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed No moral compa** for me, it's all just natural feelings Existence has no meaning, there's no such thing as happy But late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see There's something burning in me, a driving need to be free, Why do I sit here and think about the things that I need? There's nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream? I've taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me (2x) I used to read everything, I used to need nothing I put my money on me, I used to be something Now I can't sleep, cause I'm not happy I've taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me (2x) Whoa oh oh (8x) Why am I haunted by the metaphysical? Is it a cosmic lie or is it literal? The books I read that used to free my mind Have made me more blind but the truth I'll find it I was a happy nihilist Now I'm wondering why I exist (1,2,3,4) I've taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me (2x) Whoa oh oh
