[Verse 1]
A#
Destined to stay awake too long to contemplate where I've gone wrong
D# F
I try to formulate a song to make some good out of bad
A#
The words I write they seem contrived, ashamed to share my cheesy lines
D# F
I scrunch the scrap a waste of time, a waste of thoughts in my head
A#
The sets of songs that I forgot where all about my writers block
D# F
And all that's left to express is i've not got much to express
[Chorus]
D# A#
Self obsessed and hypercritical
D# A#
Self abasing when over analytical
D# A#
Self-righteous but apolitical
D# A#
I express myself and little else
[Verse 2]
A#
I waste the day, I waste the evening, combing through words try to find meaning
D# F
It's just self-involved struggles with feelings, where do I go from that?
A#
Each line written is lazy and boisterous, hard not to see my endeavours as pointless
D# F
Approach a project frustrated and joyless, get surprised when it's bad
A#
But there is a truth that I've been evading, I mostly make things so you think I'm creative
D# F
I'm so shallow you see, that I have to build up a sense of identity
[Chorus]
D# A#
Self obsessed and hypercritical
D# A#
Self abasing when over analytical
D# A#
Self-righteous but apolitical
D# A#
I express myself and little else
