Lyrics Yes of course this is how the events have turned ill mannered wishes and prayers to the universe I was warned, I was burned. I’m well informed but… have I learned? Call me a quitter, a cynic, what have you results say it’s all self inflicted (who knew!?) I’m a mess, I’m a wreck. I’m pulling my hair out, I’m making my bed I turn my head away from every consequence cause thats’s how I raised to live in opulence And I can play the fool and I can play the con man I can tell myself it’s for my betterment I’m happy for you, I mean it, no really I stated my wishes, I asked no pity All my griesf is benign. I’ll be fine, that’s a lie I’ll walk the circles of hell and thereafter I’ll give you the world on an big silver platter Give me time, take me back. I can change, well I can mask I turn my eyes away from the reality I get through every day conducting fantasies and I can write the play and I can get it funded joke’s on me if you thought I was well adjusted Some nerve I have to take your hand in all my dreams not withstanding who I am lot no design be grand I turn my head away from every consequence cause thats’s how I raised to live in opulence And I can play the fool and I can play the con man Tell myself this isn’t how I meet my end
New Tarquin song! I love the metaphors in these ones. Autistic again? (Clues: mask, fantasy) Specifically, is this one about trying to avoid the consequences of your actions after having a Kantian (action-based) morality for so long?
Yeah! You’re actually pointing out some things I didn’t realize were in there but thinking about it further, they definitely are. It’s about how my autistic experiences clash with relationships in my life (and being aware that problems are there and not knowing what to do with them). I’m really glad you like the song, thanks for being here!

Yes of course this is how the events have turned ill mannered wishes and prayers to the universe

Call me a quitter, a cynic, what have you results say it’s all self inflicted (who knew!?)
I’m a mess, I’m a wreck. I’m pulling my hair out, I’m making my bed
I turn my head away from every consequence cause thats’s how I raised to live in opulence
And I can play the fool and I can play the con man
I can tell myself it’s for my betterment
I’m happy for you, I mean it, no really
I stated my wishes, I asked no pity
All my griesf is benign. I’ll be fine, that’s a lie
I’ll walk the circles of hell and thereafter I’ll give you the world on an big silver platter
Give me time, take me back. I can change, well I can mask
I turn my eyes away from the reality
I get through every day conducting fantasies and I can write the play and I can get it funded
joke’s on me if you thought I was well adjusted
Some nerve I have to take your hand
in all my dreams not withstanding who I am lot no design be grand
I turn my head away from every consequence cause thats’s how I raised to live in opulence
And I can play the fool and I can play the con man
Tell myself this isn’t how I meet my end
