Mr. Nothing (11/26/2006)

What do you really see in me when you take your glances
Do you see an opportunity or twenty wasted chances
Does every image shown to you convey the same damn message
That I have wasted everything and left you with the messes
But I don’t want you to stress it, I don’t need you to worry
I know I’ve fucked it all up now, I know the future’s blurry
I know that everything I’ve done is all one disappointment
Just say it like the rest have said, then go to your appointment
I work a job I tolerate, but I do so with no passion
I live a life that’s gone to waste in every kind of fashion
I spend my time locked away to hide from all your faces
I always hear what you say, your whispers leaving traces
And even in the pages where I change this tale’s direction
I fall into a circumstance that leads me from perfection
Like in this very instance, I would give it all to see her
Not much to lose, but tons to gain, you know, that girl Maria
But even in that situation, I’ve failed a thousand times
To the point where self laid hatred clouds my very mind
It makes me stare at my reflection and notice every flaw
I embody the term imperfection, mirror hates me more

Welcome one and welcome all to my ritual
Where doubting and depression are a bit habitual
But don’t leave care, don’t leave pity, don’t you shed a tear
Cause somebody has to fail so someone else can cheer
And that man’s me, Mr. Failure, Mr. Never Nothing
The guy you all thought would succeed but never found his something
This is my life, these are my thoughts, the rattling inside me
To the left and to the right, there’s nothing there’s beside me
