Concept Without Proof

Another day, another song

Singing in the same key

Another post noon morning

Still not me

Another try

Another pad of paper to the trash

Another sigh

How much more can soon last?

Days blend in one pretend semester

I haven't been in in years

How did I end up here?

Nothing's fitting together

I'm not getting better

If I'm a mess in progress

Without the time to change

Oh, I'm screwed

Concept without proof

Another day, another start

I'm stalling

If I backslide any more

I'd just be falling

I'm not making sense

But I'm confident

My judgement's through the floor

I don't know me anymore

And every wick's burning

More and more off center

Just another swing

Another miss from this one hit wonder

I do one thing right

When I don't mean it

Every try is more defeating

And the candle stings

Nothing's fitting together

And I'm not getting better

If I'm a mess in progress

Without the time to change

Oh, I'm screwed

Concept without proof

This isn't who I used to be

Schematics with some missing parts

Not just an idea that I don't believe in

I fail before I even start

I'm splitting at the seams

And running out of thread

One more draft

One more path

One dead end

Nothing's fitting together

I'm not getting better

Nothing's fitting together

And I'm not getting better

Nothing's fitting together

I'm not getting better

If I'm a mess in progress

Without the time to change

Oh, I'm screwed

Just a fluke

Concept without proof
