How To Screw Up Your Future And Disappoint Your Loved Ones

lyrics

I’ve been grinding my teeth in my sleep and each night I try to count all the wolves in sheep’s skin, but there’s just too many and no matter what I do it’s clear to me I’m born to lose.
I’d complain but who would listen?
It doesn’t make a bit of difference.
So here’s to all the years I’ve wasted.
I never thought I could become this jaded.

I’m giving up, everything I’ve ever done has gone so wrong and I gave it all, gave it everything I’ve got but I guess that wasn’t enough.
I’m letting go, letting all that I’ve been working for slip through my fingers, but I've gotta say, I’ve gotten used to feeling useless.
Will I ever gather the strength to get through this?

I’ve been asleep at the wheel for the past three years and it’s too late to wake up.
I never thought I’d live to see my best laid plans crumble right in front of me.
Is it my destiny to fail?
I’ve been at this for years and to no avail.
The universe has spoken and it won’t rest till my spirit’s broken.

Or will I fall?
Will I ever find my place in this world?
Will I ever gather the strength to move on?
(When will I know?)
(I’m giving up, I’ve given up everything.)
(I’m letting go, I let it go too far.)
