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