A A A A D D E E A A A A D D E E [Verse 1] A Destined to stay awake too long to contemplate where I've gone wrong D E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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
