"You are often disappointed by the realities of life: the shortcomings of others or yourself. Somehow you don't want to accept the imperfections of the world, a feeling that drives you constantly to try improve upon it. But, rather than be satisfied with your efforts, and those of others, you relentlessly push on, striving for greater accomplishments. You are often unsatisfied with the results. In short, you lack the perspective that would otherwise make it possible for you to enjoy life more fully, and to accept it as natural limitations."

You used to be so witty and so sharp
With lots of energy and tons of heart
I think about how you were way back then
A lot has changed
I know you still dress the same but still
Your face it carries evidence of ills
If life is just a bunch of memories
Then what are these?
I know all of the specifics of your life
The last two years have been one long dark night
The tunnel's black and you don't see an end
From where you've been
I see you now and you just seem so blank
I recognize your name but not your face
You sleep all day but even when you're awake
You're worlds away
I can't believe how long it takes to mend
Malpractice by the hand of just one hand
The world has simply turned its back on you
To make their line go quicker
With lots of energy and tons of heart
I think about how you were way back then
A lot has changed
I know you still dress the same but still
Your face it carries evidence of ills
If life is just a bunch of memories
Then what are these?
I know all of the specifics of your life
The last two years have been one long dark night
The tunnel's black and you don't see an end
From where you've been
I see you now and you just seem so blank
I recognize your name but not your face
You sleep all day but even when you're awake
You're worlds away
I can't believe how long it takes to mend
Malpractice by the hand of just one hand
The world has simply turned its back on you
To make their line go quicker
