Ricky Murray - I Merely Exist Lyrics

I merely exist, I do not live
With the business of keeping body and soul together
It leaves no time for other emotions
It leaves no time to pursue other leisures
I merely exist, I do not live

Is life a single note on the eternal orchestra
That's being played for His diversion?

For me not to like the song is all part of the song
But still they think
'You're hiding, you're hiding, I know where you are'
But nobody is right because there is no right
In what's real

Solipsism is my special brew
Throughout life we have to be many different people
To get anywhere we have to act pretentious
To find some love we have to lie to ourselves
Solipsism is my special brew

Is there any escape from the world that we inhabit?
Or are we tied to what is given and what is not?

Some things do not go to plan and then it drags you down
And then they say
''You're lazy, you're lazy, I know who you are''
But they don't know anything about you and me
Or how we feel
