Sinking Song (Lyrics)

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...
