What's the point of never knowing at all? When every step I take is always too small. Maybe it's just something I can't admit, But lately I feel like I don't give a shit. [Chorus] Motivation such an aggravation Accusations don't know how to take them Inspiration getting hard to fake it Concentration never hard to break it Situation never what you want it to be What's the point of never making mistakes Self-indulgence's such a hard habit to break It's all just a waste of time in the end Don't care, so why should I even pretend? [Chorus: x2] Never what you want it to be, Never what you want it to be
