Dressing Up Like My Avatar

about

About my experience with video games, "Oblivian" specifically. I just wanted to dress up like a good looking dude and pick flowers

lyrics

Dressing up like my avatar
I got purple leather pants and a real cool scar
Dressing up like my avatar I got a skin tight vest to show my muscles hard
Dressing up like my avatar I’m a dude
Well in the video game I get to pick my style
Be my alter ego let myself go wild
I got low cut boots and deep green eyes
A half-up pony tail and pirate smile
Looking at myself I’m the picture of health
If I was someone else I would date myself
Dressing up like my avatar
I got purple leather pants and a real cool scar
Dressing up like my avatar I got a skin tight vest to show my muscles hard
Dressing up like my avatar I’m a dude
Now I’m styling while I forage near the monsters in the forest
But I am in no danger cuz I summoned my familiar
Ya he’s kicking ass as I’m chillin in the grass
Checkin out the scene the mountains and the streams
Ah they’re such a beaut how do the coders do it
I could stay here all day and dream my life away
Dressing up like my avatar
I got purple leather pants and a real cool scar
Dressing up like my avatar I got a skin tight vest to show my muscles hard
Dressing up like my avatar I’m a dude
I got a house in every town with the finest things around
Conquered all the dragons ya my loot is really staggering
But I’m sitting all alone in my castle with no phone
Sitting by myself in all my stinking wealth
I’m thinking what I’m missing is all the hugs and kissing
Gonna find someone to share in all my fun
So I head out on my quest to find someone as my guest
Talk to every merchant use all the spells I purchase
I’m so f’n charming my vanity’s alarming
But I used up all my magic and still can’t find my darling
Then I realize I’ll never get my prize
I hang my head in shame cuz I’m in the wrong game
Dressing up like my avatar
I got purple leather pants and a real cool scar
Dressing up like my avatar I got a skin tight vest to show my muscles hard
Dressing up like my avatar I’m a dude
