John P. Curtiss - Like I'm living

All day everyday
All I do is complain
Obsess with my pain
How'd I get this way

As I said before
I'm not that unique
I hone my technique
From the company I keep

What that used to mean
Was your people, now it's everybody

But before I look around
Let's check in the mirror
What flaws have I found
Which mistakes reappear

Practically them all
Hubris, greed, and gall
Ego on the wall
I watch crack and fall

And I feel like I'm living in slow motion
I will die without the notion

Of what did I do wrong
I always know well
I always can tell
The ways in which I fail

And I carry the guilt
Like a seamstress with her quilt
I give it that much care
Take it to the county fair

I feel like I'm drinking a potent potion
And I will die swimming against the ocean

I know well enough
No one can be so tough
So as not to err
That's not any fair

Well neither is life
It's all scum and strife
Until it's the greatest gift of all
We all rise and fall

I feel like I'm living in slow motion

And I can see why Satan fell
Shouldn't beat out should
But bad ain't beat out good
I can when I could

I may be the way I am
I may even be too much
But I haven't lost touch
With the worth it for the tough
