Ennui - Why Am I Doing This Lyrics

Why do we make art?
I mean there's gotta be a reason
Is it to express ourselves
Or to let our imaginations run wild
Well I'm, I'm just doing it to make myself shut up

I'm playing video games as I write this
Been stuck on this boss for the past two hours
And I'm writing lyrics to keep myself sane
It's not working
Everything sucks

Why am I doing this?
There's gotta be a reason why
It's not to express myself
Nor to exercise creativity
I just need a reason to be

This is the second half of the song
The same four chords were getting old

Why can't I just be happy
Why is it a whole f*cking process
Why can't I be happy with who I am
And why am I complaining about it to myself, I mean seriously

I just want to be free
I just want to be free
Why can't I do stuff normally
I just want to be free
