It won't work

apples's picture

Everyone always tries to
Fill up my head with doubts
Make me second guess myself
And never be successful
But it won't work because
My mind is like that of
Everyone else
It works according to
What and only what
It wants to do
So to all those who want to
Try to make me doubt myself
You'll only be wasting precious air
And in the end you may even
Doubt yourself

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but...
What happened to your name?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am all, but what am I? Another number that isn't equal to any of you.
I control, but I comply. Pick me apart then pick up the pieces.
I'm uneven! Slipknot: "The Blister Exists"
