Sucked Into Stupid

sometimes i can't even rely upon

being sucked into my own stupidity

i try real hard not to get caught

in games of my own device, making and choice

that strong coffee, i drink a lot of

appears to be my latest detrimental effect

it makes my stomach tear vicious little knots in itself

i'm pinging i’m hurting and i’ve got no time to reflect

this list i have of the things i'm not allowed

grows exponentially by the minute i swear

it’s not more than í reckon that i think i can handle

and just a little more than i thought i would care

so glad of all the tips and pointers i received along the way

and now i find they are worth more to me than wealth

someone else had to make some of those mistakes

cause i didn’t have the time to make them all myself

sometimes the where's and why's of where i wind up

are as a direct result of being sucked into my own stupidity

something inside me gives it all a big green light

an illusion inside a delusion is not a solution
