Intellectual Inferiority
Intellectual Inferiority
Things were once so simple
Back when I was young
Could of sworn I knew it all
But it slipped right off my tongue
The day I left the cradle
When I learned to crawl
This whole world was mine to hold
But I dropped the ball
Quickly I pursued it
As it rolled across the floor
Then I stepped into this room
And someone locked the door
Often I look back on life
And see where I went wrong
Existence is much easier when
You know where you belong
Chasing distant memories
Things that I believe
Watch them as the fall apart
It's so easy to deceive
Things are never simple
It’s only in your head
The only thing you know for sure
Is one day you'll be dead
