## Blurb

This is a great track that lucky for us was written days after the **Built To Fail** monstrosity was recorded. It was a song that I wrote about feeling depressed because my life wasn't really turning out to be as great and as impressive as I hoped it would as a little kid. When I was in elementary school I was like getting straight A+'s and somewhere along the way something happened and I was no longer smarter than everyone else. But fuck that, because life isn't and shouldn't be about pleasing other people. When you feel empty inside, that void can't be filled up with drugs, girls, money or acceptance. You have to accept yourself. I just realized that this album has some pretty depressing lyric material, I must have been upset while I wrote these songs. (Blurb 1)

Yes! The **Built To Fail +** sessions. This was absolutely fun because we got to record with Perry Carbone and learn the equipment while he was learning it, it was a new experience for both of us. I think the mix is pretty good, but, unfortunately it wasn't played very well, much like **integrity.** For example, the vocals on this session were recorded twice; once while I was sick because I didn't know I had mono so I couldn't sing it and once where I was bursting with energy because I finally left the house after having mono. We used the latter, which is audible on this song during the "I feel like I've done nothing..." where my voice cracks everywhere. All over the place. And the 90210-style guitar solo at the end of this motherfucker rocks the motherfucker. (Blurb 2)

## Lyrics

I remember the days I used to laugh and play.

My friends were mostly girls and I got good grades.

That was a time I could look back on proudly and say "Hey, that's me"

but now the future pummels me with uncertainty.

Success I'll never grasp

A love I'll never find or notice

Maybe this is just a test

Success I'll never grasp, won't obey the status quo

Am I cynical, political or mental? I don't know.

In my head I've got all the explanations that I need

that not a motherfucker in the world would believe.

And I fail. Remarks misheard callously.

   The notes we passed in class never had an effect on me.

   You win. You've beat me at my own game.

   But you're not gonna be there when I've won.

I'm sure I'm not as bad as I think, but I feel like I've done nothing

and now I'm at the brink of zero

And I ain't got no (*great grammar there, kids*) souvenirs from the last few years that could fucking show.

that I've attained some form of success

a love I'll never find or notice

how much of this makes any sense

Sellout now or I'm never gonna win

Who needs to give a motherfucking shit about my fucking friends?

The hand on the clock reaches my end

Bop Bada Bop

Its not me.

   I know that I made you see the directionless slacker I made myself out to be

   Well you, win. It doesn't matter

   I'm not gonna be there when you're gone

I don't need your advice and I don't need your help.

Why am I so lonely if I still have myself?

Why should I care if I don't have a chick to take all of my ca$h and hurt me till I'm sick?

It all makes such sense, its all loud and clear

I may have had a bad week, a bad month, a bad year but the future's there

and all I've got to do is concentrate on what I want.

   And if you oppose me, fuck you.
