lyrics

i am the dilettante, fool superior / i am the joker with a rough exterior
never the artist, though i will admit / i try my hardest to make myself fit
blame it on the lateness of the hour / how all their victories have made me sour
how do you think of those words / the melodies, how they unfurl
mine so arch and so devoid / of the influence i so enjoy

make me your apprentice, oh sculptor of the arts
make me into something that could break their hearts
teach me how to wail like a choir boy
teach me how to fill their hearts with real joy

universe, oh guide me across the trapeze of my life
my feet keep slipping arkwardly, please don't let me die

i promise that i will try
and every day the stakes get higher
the joker, now the joke
the honest child, now quite the liar

eyes are wired and tongue like fire
each wrong note makes me fucking cry
i scream because i fucking try
and i still get nowhere in life
