Introverts Unite

It amazes me how people can't be 

alone from time to time

They always call a friend or text instead 

of enjoying the peace of life

Yet somehow when they look at me

Their eyes show only pity it seems

They must project their loneliness on me

But I'm the one who's happy and they just can't see

Don't think I'm lonely, you don't know me

I'd rather be on my own

Not everyone needs to be with someone

I like spending time alone

I was born whole

I'm not half-done

Being happy doesn't happen cause of someone

Love is the effect, not the cause

Of true happiness in spite of all flaws

A waste of time, a waste of space

Don't waste your life always on the chase

You were unhappy before, you'll be unhappy with them

Just another divorce waiting to happen

People bring problems

and want me to solve them

That's not who I want to be

I don't want to be your savior

or change your behavior

You do you and I'll do me

Yet somehow when they look at me

Their eyes show only pity it seems

They must project their loneliness on me

But I'm the one who's happy and they just can't see

In this age of information saturation

I want to get off the map

I don't need an overdose of communication

I'm not looking for 'my other half'

I was born whole

I'm not half-done

Being happy doesn't happen cause of someone

Love is the effect, not the cause

Of true happiness in spite of all flaws

A waste of time, a waste of space

Don't waste your life always on the chase

You were unhappy before, you'll be unhappy with them

Just another divorce waiting to happen

*Recording Details: I initially recorded drums, guitars and bass for this back in 2010.  I recorded vocals in April of 2014.  After buying a cheap Estaban G-10 practice amp, I decided to re-record all the punk rock songs that weren't attached to my Anti-Social(ist) playlist with the amp.  I used my Heil PR-20 to record the amp in Ardour through my M-Audio Fast Track.  I never even reached 1 on the volume and recorded it fairly quietly.  I'm pretty happy how it turned out.  I wanted a sort of tinnish overdrive for the mid-80's punk sound.  I kept the original bass direct line recorded in Pro Tools from 2010, but redid the drums in Hydrogen, mostly using the standard kit with a few exceptions.
