Participation Trophies

Yeah I lost my keys three times this week
If I'm late again I'll get fired
My car battery's dead
Guess I'll go back to bed
Got bills I didn't pay again
Now my immediate action is required
Credit score 315
I don't know what that even means

Participation trophies
They messed me up
Now I'm that guy
I'm barely staying alive
Got all of these neuroses
But people say that I'm a vibe
So what's the problem if I suck at life?

Now it's 3am
I'm playing Words With Friends
I'd go to bed but I'm way too wired
Start a new job tomorrow
Oh wait it's already tomorrow
Washed my sheets first time in 6 weeks
Found my AirPods in the dryer
Something is wrong with me
Guess I'm just too "type B"

So overstimulated
Now my attention span is shot
And I don't know how to stop
Routine is overrated
I do what I want when I like
So what's the problem if I suck at life?

My mom tried to be my friend
I never learned discipline
Got good at playing pretend
I swear that it's not my fault
I wish that I could rewind
Wish I had another try
To finally raise myself right
I swear that it's not my fault
Got all this wasted potential
Mommy said I was special
My crisis existential
No it's not my fault
Now I depend on these meds
To calm the thoughts in my head
This is as sane as I get
No it's not my fault

Why do I suck?
Why do I suck?
Why do I suck?
Why do I suck?
Why do I suck?
Why do I suck?

Participation trophies
They messed me up
Now I'm that guy
I'm barely staying alive
Got all of these neuroses
But people say that I'm a vibe
So what's the problem if I suck at life?

(Eh... I didn't like my ending.
It was too musical-theater-y.)
