It's a mistake for me to be here,
What with my faults and all.
Never have I been more disappointed at myself.
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess.
A flawed being that can't get its act together.
What am I waiting for?
Something dramatic, perhaps.
I'm just running at full speed into nowhere,
Hoping to crash or run out of gas.
If I'm such a fraud, why aren't I in jail?
I mean, I'm not really alive.
I'm still breathing, but in everything else I'm dead.
Just killing the hours
With matches and nothing to guide me.
Who the hell am I,
If I can't even trust in myself?
And why am I still here,
If life is just passing me by?
Just another mystery to be befuddled by,
As I lie in perpetual discontent
In another lonely night.
