This track is about the fear of trying. Failure is truly scary, but if you never try, you can't possibly ever succeed.
lyrics
Sun shines, it's time to pull down the curtains,
And maybe, unwind, try and find a reason I'm certain,
That I'm too blind, too confined in my way of living to know
What living even really means anymore,
Overworked and underpaid and I know,
Every dream that shines will fade the more it's ignored,
It's more a scapegoat for my actions than a punch in my ego,
Living life without a dream to work towards
Treason against reason, like a right handed lefty,
It's the season for pleasing myself, and I'm getting quite hefty,
And I'm trying, trying, trying, not very hard at all,
To better self-improve my self, but I'm feeling quite dumb,
All those book I bought preparing for Mensa,
A test I'll never take because I'm sure that I'd fail,
And it's that fear of even trying that continues to get you,
Too unnerved to even set sail,
And every morning I start off by trying to stroke my ego,
Just a little bit so that I'll want to wake up,
It's just another on a list of things I'm trying to outgrow,
Feeling like I'm such a fuck up.
