From the recording [mpt]
Lyrics
Above all else to thine self be true
I heard said once and thought it would be pretty cool
So I took a step back to get a better view
Took a hard look at myself to learn something new.
Well I'm good for nothing but do nothing well
'though I try I’m reconciled That I usually fail
I used to kid myself that I was someone unique
While deep down fearing I'm just another nobody
I broke it down
Peeling back the layers I think I stripped too far
Shed confidence and ego Until I was totally bare
I started seeing the truth of who I am
Just another withered brick in our species leaking dam
And it's breaking down
I once convinced myself I had a clue
That I had direction and Important things to do
But My deconstructions left a hollow shell
I was a vacuum packed narcissist but I hid it pretty well
Now my self analysis is nearly through
I know that I know nothing but that is nothing new
Where wisdom dictated to thine own self be true
I know now I'm just a nobody and there's nothing I can do
I'm breaking down
