As Good As It Gets (Imposter Syndrome Anonymous) (bonus)

[Verse 1]

Go out and chase your dreams
Despite being 18
Just like that it's done, you're done
Well, that ship is gone

But here we all are
Still hoping in our weakness
That maybe we're better than we thought

There's a place on a playlist
Some Vegas DJ's guest list
Or any other lie that we have bought

They'll listen if I keep it up
All it takes is simple luck
But now you're gonna learn what we weren't taught

[Chorus]

This is as good as it gеts
So save up all of your tips
Getting too wasted
So wе don't have to face it

This is as good as it gets
Yeah, we all should admit it
No one's even listening
My parents are the cheer team

And your dreams have gone bad
Ringing hollow again and again
While you chase the latest fads
We'll have nothing in the end

[Verse 2]

So the years have passed
Like a personal attack
Now you fight the trends
But lay awake at night

Pushing on at any cost
Waiting to become the boss
Though it's self defeating
The message bears repeating

There's no place on a playlist
No record deals to miss
That crate of CD's no one else has bought

If all it takes is simple luck
You're out of time to get unstuck
The trap has sprung, but maybe that's what you want

[Chorus]

This is as good as it gets
So save up all of your tips
Getting too wasted
So we don't have to face it

This is as good as it gets
We all should admit it
Ideas no one will miss
Probably should delete this

And your dreams have gone bad
Ringing hollow again and again
Though you chase the latest fads
We'll have nothing in the end

Flipping throught the presets
Trying to write the big hits
Releases coming too slow
You're gone before you even know

That no-one ever breaks through
This song will never find you
Sitting on a big stage
The sun's setting on another day
