NEW DEEP

I'm so alive I'm so enlightened I can barely survive A night in my mind I've got a plan I'm gonna find out just how boring I am And have a good time Cause ever since I tried Trying not to find Every little meaning in my life It's been fine I've been cool With my new golden rule Numb is the new deep Done with the old me And talk is the same cheap it's been Is there a God? Why is he waiting? Don't you think of it odd When he knows my address? And look at the stars Don't it remind you just how feeble we are? Well it used to, I guess Cause ever since I tried Tying not to find Every little meaning in my life It's been fine I've been cool With my new golden rule Numb is the new deep Done with the old me And talk is the same cheap it's been I'm a new man I wear a new cologne and You wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed I know what you'll say 'This won't last longer than the rest of the day' But you're wrong this time Numb is the new deep Done with the old me I'm over the analyzing Tonight Stop trying to figure it out Deep will only bring you down You know, I used to be the back porch poet with a book of rhymes Always open knowing all the time I'm probably Never gonna find the perfect rhyme For 'heavier things'
