Mustardmind - The Late Bloomer Lyrics

I've only found
Nothing ever goes right
The first time around
And there's no progress in sight
My feet touch ground yet my instinct's to crawl
It's protocol

I guess I know it's not too smart to compare but
My hand is forced because I'm trailing the field
How can I prove that I am more than a haircut?
How do I know when my fate has been sealed?

And as the debt gets bigger
A deeper part of me gets the picture
Meanwhile the gap grows wider
I sacrifice my moral fiber
Sometimes, sometimes you have to pull the lever
I missed my cue but better late than never

I cannot call myself a finished product
I stare at the clock and wonder when I'll be whole
How could I possibly defend all my conduct?
How long should I relinquish control?

And as the debt gets bigger
A deeper part of me gets the picture
Meanwhile the gap grows wider
I sacrifice my moral fiber
Sometimes, sometimes you have to clip the tether
I missed my cue but better late than never

As the divide gets longer
I wonder what feats I still could conquer
Meanwhile the wall grows higher
My shoulder angel's a big fat liar
Sometimes, sometimes you must ignore the tremor
I took some time but better late than never
