lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I am failing
like everything I do is paling
in comparison to others,
wealthy dads and single mothers
Sometimes I feel like my worst friend
I've nary a good hand to lend
to help myself find the answer
I'm neither smooth, nor a dancer
Sometimes I feel like I am trailing
like I've been sent through discount mailing
and when I finally cross the border
send it back, it's the wrong order
Sometimes I feel at my wit's end,
like I'm too brittle to bend
I wonder if I'm doing all I can
or maybe I'm just not a real man

I'm just being self-deprecating
cause it's the only way I know how to cope
Tearing myself down every day,
cause it's funny
It's funny to me

Sometimes I try to write a song
Sometimes it takes me so long
and when I feel I finally have it
all I really have is bullshit
Sometimes I pretend I can sing
by merging takes in editing
but when I hear the final product,
still it sounds like running amok

I'm just being self-deprecating
cause it's the only way I know how to cope
Tearing myself down every day,
cause it's funny
It's funny to me
