song from under the floorboards

i am angry i am i'll and i'm as ugly as sin

my irritability keeps me alive and kicking

i know the meaning of life

it doesn't help me a bit

i know beauty and i know a good thing when i see it

this is a song from under the floorboards

this is a song from where the wall is cracked

by force of habit

i am an insect

i have to confess i'm proud as hell of that fact

i know the highest and the best

i accord them all due respect

but the brightest jewel inside of me

glows with pleasure at my own stupidity

this is a song from under the floorboards

this is a song from where the wall is cracked

by force of habit

i am an insect

i have to confess i'm proud as hell of that fact

i used to make phantoms i could later chase

images of all that could be desired

then i got tired of counting all of these blessings

and then i just got tired

this is a song from under the floorboards

this is a song from where the wall is cracked

by force of habit

i am an insect

i have to confess i'm proud as hell of that fact
