A metric of success is derived From a number or statistic. All your hard work may not pay off, Sleepless evenings for crickets. Maybe I should become a shill, Try to get a placement deal. Validation by committee's not working for me so well. I can't imagine what it's like Perpetually unsatisfied And afraid I'm wasting my life. Put on a jacket and go outside. Stumbling, short of breath. Eloquently state your diagnosis. "Lack of motivation based neurosis." Leaves you feeling scared, depressed, and worthless All 'cause of a self imposed deadline. And I can't imagine what it's like Perpetually unsatisfied And afraid I'm wasting my life. Put on a jacket and go outside. And don't come back 'til you save Latin. Maybe I'm deluding myself. Maybe my hunch is right, I don't have what it takes to make A living doing what I want while Feeling I've accomplished something. Toil in obscurity for twenty years, Twenty for nothing. Working (still) a shitty job, Taken ahold by indecision. I'll let you know when I know what I'm looking for. I haven't found it yet. I can't imagine what it's like Perpetually unsatisfied And afraid I'm wasting my life. Put on a jacket and go outside. And I can't imagine what it's like Perpetually unsatisfied And afraid I'm wasting my life. Put on a jacket and go outside.
