there's no suspense
or urgency
and it seems that i've grown content
with a to b
this time i've spent here
has all been wasted
if i've done anything
it's been lateral movement
and i won't
live this down
because i never do a thing
that i'll remember
no i won't
let me down
because i don't expect enough
to warrant failure
and i'm not scared
though i'm hiding some fears
and the lights are all on
but there's no one else here
is this still where i am
it seems like it's been years
is this all i have left
how'd it all disappear
and i won't
live this down
because i never do a thing
that i'll remember
no i won't
let me down
because i don't expect enough
to warrant failure
and these minutes pass
and hours fly
this time don't last
these days go by
and nothing's done
i'll still be here
if i just sit and wait
for it to happen
and i won't
live this down
because i never do a thing
that i'll remember
no i won't
let me down
because i don't expect enough
to warrant failure
and i won't
leave this town
because stagnant is the state
that i've been rendered
and i won't
let me down
because i don't expect enough
to warrant failure
no i don't expect enough
i don't expect enough
to warrant failure
