I've got the world in the palm of my hands Yet I discard it like unwanted trash Into God's wastebasket So brazen in my pride As if another just like it will simply rain down from the skies For me to catch Sometimes I wonder Just who the hell I think I am anyway A walking contradiction All bite And no Chew Follow up Without follow through Always falling short of my potential Slowing down right before I reach my apex Too chicken-shit to commit Complacent in my mediocrity One of these days I'm going to fully commit To being the best that I can be Or finally work up the courage To put a gun in my mouth

Luxurious Loathing
I've got the world in the palm of my hands Yet I discard it like unwanted trash Into God's wastebasket So brazen in my pride As if another just like it will simply rain down from the skies For me to catch Sometimes I wonder Just who the hell I think I am anyway A walking contradiction All bite And no Chew Follow up Without follow through Always falling short of my potential Slowing down right before I reach my apex Too chicken-shit to commit Complacent in my mediocrity One of these days I'm going to fully commit To being the best that I can be Or finally work up the courage To put a gun in my mouth
