I've got this sinking feeling
It took the best of me to master the art of mediocrity
I've got some bright ideas
I've got these hopes and dreams
I've got a world that's indifferent to me
And you speak the truth
I just find it so much harder than you make it seem
It sounds so easy...
You've got your own agenda
Sharpen your claws and teeth
Carve me a crass and crude obituary
You made me see; I was so naive
I guess I had it coming to me...
Come back stronger and you'll get what you deserve
There's no easy way to learn how it's a long way down
And you speak the truth
I just find it so much harder than you
You must have an arduous job to do
Without the burden of my banality
And I guess I really struck a nerve this time
You shot holes in my integrity
And I'd bite my tongue, but the irony flows
When you recite my flaws in sub-standard prose
Come back stronger
You'll get what you deserve
The truth is I find it so much harder than you make it seem
It sounds so easy
I've got this sinking feeling...
