The Time Is Definitely Nigh 2 Reinvent Myself
I have now become as tired
As my work has grown old
Nothing no longer anymore now seems
Fresh or in anyway or part new
It almost writes it for itself
Without even the need of my own help
So if I am getting to the point
Of being bored beyond belief
I can only imagine what other people
Must actually think as well
It's all the same subject matter
Same old words endlessly repeated as well
It's like trying to make and back up
A second album after the first
Finding everything you write
Sounds exactly like something
You have written already
And worst of all
No better
Merely just a carbon copy
Which anyone definitely can tell
And you yourself can't possibly sell
Let alone to yourself
Tired simply out and devoid of ideas
Only second time out of asking
Stale burnt out already
Having to pretend and make believe
You are a gifted artist and performer
Praying and hoping they won't know
Until and the magic returns and so inspires
Your muse again
Otherwise if it unfortunately doesn't
You are forever destined to be
A one hit wonder
Who will barely be remembered
Until you hopefully come back in fashion
On the revival circuit
