Aphorisms

I think I really messed it all up this time

I always do this and I never know why

I am the hurricane and never the eye

Feel like I'm tripping but I didn't get high

So many aphorisms that it's obscene

We have to generalize to know what they mean

I've heard the stories of the stuck in between

I never thought that it would happen to me

Where is my happy ending?

Summarized by an anecdote?

Where is my silver lining?

Where is the fortune for the bold?

Where is the surface?

Where is the light?

Where's my reward for doing everything right?

Where is the part when I come alive?

'Cause I'm still stuck digging myself in a hole even though

I'm not high

I hate to be the one to flip the canoe

I always feel that way so it's nothing new

I am the instrument and never the tune

Feel like the only one who's missing the cues

I know it's hard to have anyone around

They're on a mission to put roots in the ground

Everyone's fighting to take over this town

And once in a while it amounts to a melt down

And once in a while it amounts to a melt down

Who can blame me for having a melt down?

Oooohhh

Where is my happy ending?

Summarized by an anecdote?

Where is my silver lining?

Where is the fortune for the bold?

Where is the surface?

Where is the light?

Where's my reward for doing everything right?

Where is the part when I come alive?

'Cause I'm still stuck digging myself in a hole even though

I'm not high
