Mistaken for grandeur

I left it all
Just a little late
Kept saying all
Or nothing
What I once thought
Meant doing great,
Will seem fuck-all
For nothing

Time,
It looked like
It would wait
'Till I came through with something
Or that failure,
It could be great,
Just as long as you live with something.

But that something,
It seems,
Just a little more complex
Than it used to be
So if failure
Is what's
To be,
I had better be sure
To fail
Spectacularly

'Cos
I'm special
And you should feel what I'm feeling now
So greatness, hey hey
Please do not allude me now.
Some special,
Had better translate itself somehow,
'Cos this failure-ha-ha
It seems much less poetic now.

Please,
Please pull me down.
I'm losing sight of the ground.
Please,
Please pull me down.
Plant my feet back on the ground.

I'm waiting here for something great
I could be waiting here forever
Waiting here forever
I'm holding out for something great
I could be holding out forever
Holding out holding out
I'm waiting here for something great
I could be waiting here forever
Waiting here forever
I'm holding out for something great
I could be holding out forever
Holding out holding out

For something,
That seems,
Just a little more complex
Than it used to be
So if failure
Is what's
To be,
I will be sure
To fail
Spectacularly

'Cos
I'm special
And you should fear what I'm feeling now
So greatness, hey hey,
Please do not allude me now.
Some special,
Had better translate itself somehow,
'Cos this failure-ha-ha

I'm special.

Some special,

Please pull me down, down.
I'm losing sight of the ground.
Please, please pull me down
I'll find my feet back on the ground.
