Magnum Opus Lyrics

Ode to my muse well I hope for some crumbs

No talent to use but out of tune hums

When effort in just isn't enough

Please give my song some love yeah

Please give my song some love yeah

I write a cacophony because I'm a wannabe

Yet you shelter me with a mendacity

My pen to the page can't scratch out a phrase

After three years of trying is it just a phase?

Foolish dreams for a magnum opus

The summit seems a terrible onus

Hear my plea mediocrity

Can I have a guarantee of victory?

'Cause obese inertia knows consistency is king

'Cause life's on a mission to make me boring

So to stay brand new I too

Produce more than I consume

Easy to do yet hard to do well

Only as good as I am so I guess I'll fail

If youth has ability then age has drive

I suck 'til I don't and I stay alive

Ode to my muse well I hope for some crumbs

No talent to use but out of tune hums

When effort in just isn't enough

Please give my song some love yeah

Please give my song some love yeah

(Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo)

(Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo)

What about life isn't that in the way?

And my strife and my sins always cause delay

So I stay in the way of myself each day

And I dive inside just to stay alive

Others ahead? Their success cause me dred

Cause they made a choice to focus their voice

Spread all over the place I face the race

Could be dead shoulda fled instead

Yet I compile the pieces that bring me joy

And accept the fact that I'm not Tolstoy

Just a boy without skill who took the red pill

And wrote a song even if it was wrong

A song to perform worse than the norm

Even before I begin the listeners cringe

Yet I sing from the heart for me who knows best

This whole song from the start is a magnum opus

Ode to my muse well I hope for some crumbs

No talent to use but out of tune hums

When effort in just isn't enough

Please give my song some love yeah

Please give my song some love yeah
