Since this is my life
You would think by now I'd know
Just how much over time
That I've let myself go

When I was brand spanking new
Sealed right, packed extra tight
Seeing no expiration date
Ready to take on this life

But overtime I seem to find
I let things eat at me
Without the washing of hands from it
The rot can run fairly deep

I've tried at times to self-improve
Put myself back on top shelf
But I seem to lack the ingredients
When it comes to motivational skills

Or do my best to keep myself
Out of the discount isle
Being half the man I once was
When all of this first started out

If I could just make it to
What is clearly my sell by date
Without giving too much
Of myself away, then I might just be okay

...but who's to really say
