I never knew that I could do nothing and like it
I was a fool not to try it
I quite like it
I had to go to play a show
I stayed distracted
Now I react like the crowd is radioactive
I never go outside, I know
I oughta try it
But I'm getting used to the silence in my room

I'd like to be left alone
Thanks, no thanks
I don't want none, dude
I'm happy to stay in
Leave me here in my own dungeon
I'd like to be left alone
Thanks, no thanks
I'll stay at home, dude
I'm happy to stand by
Here, under the plaster sky

I never knew that I could do nothing and dig it
I wanted all the attention
Well, that's ended
I didn't know that I could go so long without you
Every song was about you
I got that out too
I always went to each event (I'd like to be left alone)
Now, I avoid 'em (Thanks, no thanks)
I didn't stop to enjoy them (I don't want none, dude)
I picked my poison (I'm happy to stay in. Leave me here in my own dungeon)
I never knew that I could do nothing and like it (I'd like to be left alone. Thanks, no thanks)
I was a fool not to try it (I'll stay at home, dude)
'Cause I quite like it (I'm happy to stand by here, under the plaster sky)
