Underachiever Songtext
von Traveller

I′ve turned myself into a ghost
Can't see myself in the mirror
It′s getting clearer, I've become bitter
I've always been an underachiever
Stuck in my ways, a restless deceiver
Take me back to when I didn′t care
When life was just life, without the despair
When my worth wasn′t tied to what I'd achieve
Not living to prove, but simply to breathe

I′ve turned myself into a ghost
Can't see me in the mirror
It′s getting clearer and clearer
I've turned myself into a ghost
Can′t see me in the mirror
I've become bitter


Underachiever
Day in, day out
I live my life as a compromise
I am disappointed, but not surprised

Stressing myself to the limits is my therapy
Only feel like myself when I'm struggling to breathe
Constant panic that I might miss out on me
It′s the bars of my cage from within that I see
When others look up to me, I feel like a fraud
They′ll find out for sure, and I'll get caught
I am a nobody with nothing to show
I think I could have done more, but I reaped what I sowed

I′ve turned myself into a ghost
Can't see me in the mirror
It′s getting clearer and clearer
I've turned myself into a ghost
Can′t see me in the mirror
I've become bitter


I'm a homebody, looking at life through the window
Wondering if I′ve always been so
I can′t comprehend the joys of others
Black and gray are my true colors
Are my true colors
