Anyways.
[Intro: DJ Azul]
It’s the blue station and we’re back
And we bangin’ that new world premiere from Nomrah
And it’s called “the pink moon.”
Man I must say man, these young kids, man
They… they… they really in with their feelings and uh
I’m really feelin’ that
So we gon’ keep this thang goin’
The next track is “anyways.”
Let’s get it!

[Verse 1]
Always try again even though I’m tired of tryin’ to
Keep up the ascent with my wings, I keep on flyin’ through
My competition, I don’t listen, cuz I know my pride is missin’
I’ve been given chances, chances, chances ‘til I’m tired of wishin’
I’ve been gifted with the opportunities of lovin’ you
I’m trusted to obstruct my dues until I feel too comfortable
I want the truth and so do you, I can’t get enough of you
There’s no amount of trauma that we can’t get past and cuddle through

[Pre-Chorus]
I left my conscience sprawled across your bedroom floor
Left there in the corner with your bundled up shorts
Your bed is like a coffin where I lay for eight days
I guess you never cared about me anyways
[Chorus]
Tell me who are you to judge me?
You never cared about me anyways
You told me that you’ll always love me
But what’s another lie nowadays?
Good for you, I’m on my own now
I never thought I’d see the light of day
So baby, won’t you fill me with your poison?
And numb the pain like Novocain away?

[Post-Chorus]
I left my conscience sprawled across your bedroom floor

[Verse 2]
I knew I should’ve never let this plan unfold (yeah)
My insecurities had blossomed like a toxic rose (rose)
And stuck you with their thorns until you had nowhere to go (nope)
I folded in those moments where my strength was down low
‘Cause I didn’t have the confidence to admit I was wrong
And so there wasn’t any stoppin’ this until I was alone (alone)
I followed all the thorns and I traced their roots
Until I realized I’m the one that they were placed into

[Chorus]
Tell me who am I to judge me?
I never cared about me anyways
I said that I would always love me
But what’s another lie nowadays?
Good for me, I’m on my own now
I never thought I’d see the light of day
So why don’t I just fill myself with poison
And numb the pain like Novocain away?
[Outro: Alan Watts]
And next
I feel quite surely
That everything outside my body is quite definitely not “me”
There are two kinds of things outside my body
Number one is other people
And they’re the same sort of thing as I am
But also they are all
Little men locked up inside their skins
And they’re intelligent
They have feelings and values
And are capable of love and virtue
But eh, then number two, is the world that’s non-human
That we call “nature”
And that’s stupid
It has no mind
It has emotions, maybe, in animals
But on the whole, it’s a pretty grim business
Dog eat dog
And when it gets to the geological level
It’s as dumb as dumb can be
It’s a mechanism, and there’s an awful lot of it
And that’s what we live in the middle of
And the purpose of being human is we feel to subjugate nature
To make it obey our will
And we arrived here… we don’t feel that we belong in this world
It’s foreign to us
