degree after degree
average after average
inside, all inside
take it all in,
stan still to all jokes
degree after degree
i'll keep degrading
i'll keep fading
even if i wanted to write a song
all the names i come up with
will be useless
for my mind is blank
i fill the space between my hands
with rust and pencils
will it work?
i don't know
i'm not gettjng any happier
nor any thinner
