My life revolves around pending assignments
What to do now?
My self-harm scars ended up on an advertisement
Still wondering how
"Misery helps in character development"
That's no way going to make my parents proud
A glow up is all I needed
Cause, butterflies are beautiful and caterpillars aren't
That's a basic subject of my self-doubt
How to convince them that my mind is also marketable
How to convince them to put it out for sale
That I am special and incomparable
Will never get devalued by any new arrival
Am I lying to them or just to myself
Even though I know, I'm failing in my "Main character mark sheet"
Still with some hope left
Trying to spread the word through those banners on the streets
Their consumer mindset will probably leave
After seeing my "Main character mark sheet"
I'm not the lonely sad kid of the class
Neither the popular kid who gets in everywhere without even trying hard
I'm just average, I'm just mediocre
Would do anything to fit in
Whether pretending to love Andrew Tate or soccer
Yeah, that's how miserable I am
Wish I had an "I don't give a fuck" attitude
So I could live a peaceful life like an average dude
How to convince them that my mind is also marketable
How to convince them that I'm not average or just somewhere in the middle
I can't even hide the fact that I'm probably defective
Or my shelf life is also perishable
Am I lying to them or just to myself
Even though I know, I'm failing in my "Main character mark sheet"
Still with some hope left
Trying to spread the word in those parties
Exceeding my warranty
Exceeding the expiry
No one's buying this mess
After seeing my "Main character mark sheet"
I try to not let it get under my skin
But when my ex-girlfriend brings up the guys are more poetic
I tried, tried to not give a shit
But here I am,
I'm no Shakespeare
Not valid enough to be anyone's pookie bear
You know this is absurd
Ugh, I'm not even anyone's crush
I'm always a sidekick
Who tries to be poetic
Not competent enough for the clubs
Whatever shit I'm writing is absurd
It's not even that deep
There are better-written but this whole album sucks
Nobody gives a shit about
My "Main character mark sheet"
