name the place and I'm there
shows what I know if I can't
spit this out when it counts
the only one here who's managed
to fake their way through to the end
with such grace
we all see why
not pegged as a lost cause
for nothing
in order to ensure
lost time is answered for
keep bringing up the burden
the burden you've endured
you're the picture of collected
the very portrait of
productivity
present the path and I'll follow
I'd offer what I know if I had
even an ounce of conviction
the conviction that got you here
with such grace
a mantra guides from here
mediocrity's ally
begging you for air
almost enough to convince you
over this I haven't set
a greater more fulfilling goal
table this exchange
drown out any source
that's been begging you to change
even with a well-known history of half-truths
the idea, not reality stands firm
not any closer to the peace that's eluded us
never less in control
obscure the path and I'll follow
I'll offer anything you want to hear
we all see why
not pegged as a lost cause for nothing
