Mediocrity's OK

I want it all I want it now
But my work ethic won't allow it
This hard work just ain't for me
And it's not wrong for you to doubt
My lack of effort from the outset
And beyond is it from me
Because we're fucked, we're all fucked.
There's a lot to contemplate
But be honest can it wait
Because I've got better things to do
Is it ok for me to say
That mediocrity's ok
Because then there's less I have to do
Maybe we left it too late
But honestly it would have ended up the same
And maybe I procrastinate
But I won't reach out for something I can't take

Must be delusional to think this works at all
I've seen it all before
And although I bend and mould any way I'm told
I still want so much more
This is the part where we should let it be
But we're all drunk on possibility
Look at the signs already clear to see
We're wasting time, but I don't mind at all
Must be a reason we put so much into this
It feels like such a chore
And although we bitch and moan when we're all alone
We still come back for more
I don't mind
I know I'm wasting time again

Disappointed People

We are the disappointed people
Toying with the notion that we'll be something more
But I don't feel the same way anymore
No, I don't feel the same way anymore
I don't feel the same way anymore
And I won't be the same way at all
We are the disappointed people
Breaking down our souls
And I won't be the same way at all
Hungry eyes and bloated dreams
Invested in uncertainty, it's old
And I don't feel the same way anymore

My Orange Tree

It failed but at least we tried
We cleaned it up before it dried
And nobody else needs to know
It's better now we've let it go
Because you made it this way
When you left yesterday
And you can't have a say
If you just fall away
You thought he ran away, we lied
We buried him, the poor thing died
In truth though, he's better to be
Underneath my orange tree
I bet that you remember it different than it was
And tell it as if it were true
The best you can deliver will never help the cause
There are just some things you can't undo
