Concept Without Proof

Another day, another song Singing in the same key Another post noon morning, still not me Another try, another pad of paper to the trash Another sigh, how much more can soon last? Days blend in one pretend semester I haven’t been in in years How did I end up here? Nothing’s fitting together, I’m not getting better If I’m a mess in progress, without the time to change Oh, I’m screwed Concept without proof Another day, another start I’m stalling If I backslide any more I’d just be falling I’m not making sense but I’m confident My judgement’s through the floor I don’t know me anymore And every wick’s burning more and more off center Just another swing another miss from this one hit wonder I do one thing right when I don’t mean it Every try is more defeating And the candle stings Nothing’s fitting together And I’m not getting better If I’m a mess in progress Without the time to change Oh, I’m screwed Concept without proof This isn’t who I used to be (Schematics with some missing parts) Not just an idea that I don’t believe in (I fail before I even start) I’m splitting at the seams And running out of thread One more draft, one more path, one dead end Nothing’s fitting together I’m not getting better Nothing’s fitting together And I’m not getting better Nothing’s fitting together I’m not getting better If I’m a mess in progress Without the time to change Oh, I’m screwed Just a fluke Concept without proof
