Square One

It's been too long, I've been too gone

Busy dragging ass while everything tells me to move on

No coupon, but I've been discounted through the ages

I wish that my success wasn't determined by my wages

I go through phases, some for better, some for worse

Regardless of position, always feel so unrehearsed

A blessing and a curse, I've never come in first

Seconds winding down till I make like a star and burst

Kind of burnt out, I'm blowing on the coals

So I don't go completely cold or get lost up in the smoke

Half a person, half a joke, people hate, it's unprovoked

I guess they want what they don't have, and I have what they don't
