Dead to the World

I'm almost to the age where I only do
Things that I know how to do
I can make coffee and I can make small talk
Cause who wants to try something new?
Oh, who wants to try anything new?

I'm old enough to know better
But I'm old enough to know that
I could probably get away with it still
It's a dangerous proposition
To ask yourself a question
When knowing that answers can kill
And I know that this answer will

Dead to the world
I'm not dead to the world
I'm just dead to the world around me
With my eyes closed so tightly
To all the possibilities
I'm surprised that I could see
That I was dead to the world around me
No I don't want to be
I don't want to be dead to the world around me
