recruitment season

It's recruitment season again
How I wish I could fit in
And how I wish I felt
Comfortable, be myself in my own skin

Look around at all these perfect chalices
Filled to the brim
I'm just Untempered glass
They're made of porcelain

Say I'm fine
No I didn't lose my mind
I'm a narcissist
Who's insecure all the time
Skip my classes then I
Wonder why I'm so behind
Somehow I always feel
Alone and undefined

I guess wisdom comes with age
But my time has been a waste
'Cause I'm never good enough
To feel like I'm okay
I ask my older friends how they feel
About the world being so gray
How can they say that?
Feels like I won't ever have what it takes

Did I ever feel like I belonged?
I'm a little fish in a very big pond
And everybody else is in control
I don't know what's going on

I say I'm fine
No I didn't lose my mind
I'm a narcissist
Who's insecure all the time
Skip my classes then I
Wonder why I'm so behind
Somehow I always feel
Alone and undefined

I guess wisdom comes with age
But my time has been a waste
'Cause I'm never good enough
To feel like I'm okay
I ask my older friends how they feel
About the world being so gray
How can they say that?
Feels like I won't ever have what it takes

Back in high school I thought I'd be
Smarter, prettier in college
Maybe I was a better swimmer
When the pond was smallest

It's recruitment season again
They're asking for my advice
Thought I'd be put together
When I stepped into the spotlight
Hate being admired when I'm really not all that
And this town hasn't expired, I just grew up too fast
And they know that I know that I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all

I guess wisdom comes with age
But my time has been a waste
'Cause I'm never good enough
To feel like I'm okay
I ask my older friends how they feel
About the world being so gray
How can they say that?
Feels like I won't ever have what it takes

Will I ever have what it takes?
Will I ever feel okay?
Will I ever have what it takes?
