Alone On My Birthday

No decoration on, no cake

Nobody remembered this important date

Guitar, pen, brain start to contemplate

They're the only 3 here

For this joyous celebration

Because I'm self-absorbed, I get upset

Mad at the world, how could they forget ?

I was alone at birth, I'll be alone at death

Hope I won't be alone at my final destination

Never really thought it would've happened to me

But that night I say by the telephone

Never really thought it would've happened to me

I spent my birthday all alone

Birth's a costume with a genetic script

We play some role that we'd like to fit

And never admit that we're full of it

And live life in some sort of dazed hallucination

I'll never lament because life is brief

Our bodies are changing like the autumn leaf

It's said that time is the greatest thief

And beats and cheats this entire population

But it's alright, home tonight, just suits me fine

I don't mind spending time with my mind all alone
