Everything good that's happened to me
Has been completely by chance rather than design
I don't deserve anything I have
I'm so scared I'll be exposed as a fraud
'Cause I have lucked my way into mediocrity
When I am actually less than ordinary
I fall into everything and everything just falls into me
I just trundle from thing to thing and I trundle aimlessly
My GPS has dropped the pin into the sea
I have successfully fooled those around me
If I made an effort maybe I could be
The person that you assume me to be
But I'm not
It's not that I don't want to do things
It's that I don't want to do them and fail
It's not that I'm afraid to fail
It's that I'll have to pretend that I care about failing
When I don't really want to succeed at anything
And that's when everything will start unravelling
Because I haven't felt a thing in a very long time
And the only things that matter are the things I undermine
And I'll leave nothing of value behind
My raison d'être is to avoid as much as possible
The same issues will arise when I die
When they say at my funeral 'he was this kinda guy'
And it won't be the person I was
Because I didn't exist the whole time
And it doesn't matter what you say to me
It doesn't matter what you say to me
Because I don't exist at all
