It's useless to say

That you only scratch the surface

Your surificial face

Bears the mark of everything

Every undertaking overthrown

Your way is to wait for the next time

And you should have seen your face

As they banished you to the outskirts

Like an asteroid that fell

Or a dream that you couldn't tell to anyone

Everything that you just couldn't sell

You'll waste away 'till it falls on you

It's pointless swan dive

Pointless swan dive

Into your river of thought, your river of thought

That you're damming, damming, damaging

And they're all gonna scratch their back-peddling heads now

A puncture in the sky

I'm peering down at all of your little lives

How unfortunate they all look now

Fatuous ideas

Of what future will bring

Or what I could bring to it

If only I had been invited

You know we are trying

We are trying however hard

You look at someone else's star

It won't get you very far

You know I am a chore

But aren't we all?
