lyrics

Hello, depression my old friend
My confidence is missing again
And I can’t avoid you forever
Am I a disappointment?
Because you can’t look me in the eyes and say you are proud of me
For what I’ve done
For anything
You must be mistaken
For someone who doesn’t think for themselves
I want to change your prospective on how we all see things

Real life is drown out with this pop culture bullshit
Priorities include the biggest salaries, while consuming the fewest calories
So drive your SUV in our failed economy
And pollute your existence but
Don’t blame it on yourself
Well if I am not to blame
And you’re not to blame
Let’s point a finger and attach to a name.

Happy ever after
With friends few and far between
Is it too late to make the most of what I have?
It is all a competition for what
Happiness you can’t just buy it
Why can’t I just be there for you?
Am I not enough?

Is it the way I market myself
Do I not scream the man you want?
I am afraid I can’t make you happy
Even though this is what I want
Will I ever be enough?
How do we live this way?
What is success to you?
Cause it is subjective to me
Without direction
It is beautiful
Without direction
Subjective
Life’s compass is
Surrounded by magnets
