Lack-of-Self Awareness

I have lack-of-self awareness

That’s what makes me sick

Out of everyone to have this shit

I’m just the one I’d pick

•

But knowing that it’s there

Doesn’t make it any better

I know enough of me to know

I’m accurate to the letter

•

Knowing that you’re no one

Doesn’t help you grow

Knowing that you feel alone

Is a useless thing to know

•

I know none of it’s true of course

But therein lies the trick

When you’re aware you lack yourself

It’s what you feel that sticks

•

The only thing i have

Is a razor-sharp mind

I see in them what people don’t

I see it all the time

•

But turn that laser onto me and it gets a lot less constructive

Now I see my PhD is not fucking productive

•

Knowing that you’re no one

Doesn’t help you grow

Knowing that you feel alone

Is a useless thing to know

•

I know none of it’s true of course

But therein lies the trick

When you’re aware you lack yourself

It’s what you feel that sticks
