lyrics

A metric of success is derived from a number or statistic. All your hard work may not pay off, sleepless evenings for crickets. Maybe I should become a shill, try to get a placement deal. Validation by committee's not working for me so well.

And I can't imagine what it's like
Perpetually unsatisfied
And afraid I'm wasting my life.
Put on a jacket and go outside.

Stumbling, short of breath. Why don't you sit down for a sec? Eloquently state your diagnosis. "Lack of motivation based neurosis." Leaves you feeling scared, depressed, and worthless all 'cause of a self imposed deadline.

And I can't imagine what it's like
Perpetually unsatisfied
And afraid I'm wasting my life.
Put on a jacket and go outside.
And don't come back 'til you save latin.

Maybe I'm deluding myself. Maybe my hunch is right, I don't have what it takes to make a living doing what I want while feeling I've accomplished something. Toil in obscurity for twenty years, twenty for nothing. Working (still) a shitty job, taken ahold by indecision. I'll let you know when I know what I'm looking for. I haven't found it yet.

I can't imagine what it's like
Perpetually unsatisfied
And afraid I'm wasting my life.
Put on a jacket and go outside.
