You think you've found your true calling
There's 20,000 other people better than you
You smell the fear of stalling
And throw caution to the wind for the chance of moving forward
And I know its hard to explain
It feels like life is there for the taking
Heavy pressure to put pen to page
When I'm bored of not being at the centre of this
I flicked a switch
To make me feel better, to make me lose sight
Of what afflicts
My sordid mind, time after time
And I adore you less
When you're at your best
Rewrite the meaning of impressed
And I guess that's my greatest success
So what's your point, what's your point
When your words barely mean a thing
And you should look in the mirror
Before the fever brings you to your knees
And when I'm tired
Of your same lines
And if you're really a winner
You have to keep producing at the same heights
I flicked a switch
To make me feel better, to make me lose sight
Of what afflicts
My sordid mind, time after time
And I adore you less
When you're at your best
Rewrite the meaning of impressed
And I guess that's my greatest success
I think I've found a new reason
I think I've found a new way to maybe improve
And I don't want to demean you
But your demeanour always seemed so crude
I wish that I could be effortless
I wish that I could be the next best thing
And I don't need your approval
Cause I'm just always striving to stop being nameless
I flicked a switch
To make me feel better, to make me lose sight
Of what afflicts
My sordid mind, time after time
And I adore you less
When you're at your best
Rewrite the meaning of impressed
And I guess that's my greatest success
