lyrics

Minding my own business
Staring at the ground
Avoiding paths of face shaped patterns
I can't seem to find myself
Myself

Center of the universe
Corner of the room
Just wait until it quiets down
To come on out and be yourself
Yourself

Sneaky thief come out now
Once the lights have gone out
Free to nose around the night
For food or something shiny
Wildlife survivor
Living in the city
Feed yourself by any means
Society can't
Keep you in a rathole
Locked up in a cage
No one can take your freedom
But careless tricks

Hiding undercover
Running from the watchdog
Calling for their master to awake
As if there's trouble
Split back to the hideout
Only you can find now
Lay low in your nest a bit
To make your next decision

Turn yourself in
Or carry on an outlaw
Either way it hits the same
To know you're on your own
Know you're on your own

Minding my own business
Staring at the ground
Oh, I'm so in my head
I'm lost as nature takes its course

I'm so in my head
I'm lost as nature takes its course
No, I'm not hurting no one
Wishing you the best of luck
But I'm so in my head
I'm lost as nature takes its course
