Show Up and Be Nice Lyrics

I'm feeling kind of burned out ever since the marathon

I thought I would just come back strong

But I used up all my thoughts

These days my life is boring so I don't have much to write

Well how'd I get this writing done

No wonder it's all trite

It's not enough to sound good or to show up and be nice

It's not enough to pander or to use these basic rhymes

These days my life is boring so I don't have much to write

Well how'd I get this writing done

No wonder it's all trite

And now that I have done the thing

I wonder is it good

I wonder if it's worth a thing

And how long until it's old

So I'm cutting cutting cutting

It all goes on the floor

It all goes on the video

It all will turn to more

These days my life is boring so I don't have much to write

How'd I get this writing done

No wonder it's all trite

I used up my ideas and I tried to clean my drafts

But high becomes the pile left

I'd rather turn to theft

So ideas from the past come back

I stole them from myself

Ideas from the past, you hack

Left undone on the shelf

So writing isn't doing

You can still evade your cause

This isn't you confronting God

You're just writing down your thoughts
