Sometimes I think about the struggle
The piss and vinegar kerfuffle
When I had to work so hard to get so little
went to bed feeling broken and brittle
and I wondered what my life was for
Every morning was a question mark
try anything to strike a spark
Do you remember not knowing
who was coming or going?
Before you knew better than to trust the humans
I remember too, man
But today it's hard to find new friends
Every meeting a question mark
try anything to strike a spark
Now you're the victim of your own success
got too good at cleaning up your mess
everything goes according to plan
and the snowflake melts in the palm of your hand
Do you remember the boredom,
cured when you made your own fun
Now the drip-feed of a new distraction
is the easiest reaction
to any kind of pause
As if to fight off some gathering dark
trying anything to strike a spark
Now you're the victim of your own success
got too good at cleaning up your mess
everything goes according to plan
'cause I convinced myself somehow that anything's better than
the worst kind of crime:
unstructured time
'cause my love is unlimited
but my time is not
I'm gonna gather up my loose threads
find my quiet in the peace in my head
till I'm the victim of my own success
get too good at letting go of the mess
turn around to find I'm back where I began
just keeping it together as best as I can
