No, really, I’ve had to go back and look,
It’s been awhile you know.
It’s just too easy to see how things go wrong,
then again they don’t seem to go right often enough.

fuck it,
who am I kidding,
I’m a whore for praise
that I don’t want to work at
and sure as fuck don’t want to fail at

talent and natural should never have been put together in any of our heads

Throw me a bone,
I’ve got plenty more to swap for it.
and if you serve it on a silver platter,
polished to a high sheen,
when I’m finished
I’ll stare at my own reflection
distorted for better or worse.
