Burnt-Out Former Gifted Kid

I’m just a burnt-out former gifted kid

My work as a child was overrated

I live to disappoint now, it seems

I’m tearing apart, ripped at the seams

All I’m doing is becoming less impressive

I’m tired of this, it’s becoming excessive

I thought I was having so much fun

But really I was dying, much too close to the sun

Am I a burnt-out former gifted kid?

Or just a fucking narcissist?
