I Should Have Been a Con Man

I circle darker images in the negatives of film
I should have been a con man
I could have led a double life, if I only didn’t care
I should have been a con man
I get no high from fairness, I get no buzz from work
It’s only repetition
If I knew it made no difference, I would have given up
Without worrying of hindsight
Contemplating contradiction
Tell me, what am I contributing?
Contemplating contradiction
I should have been a con man

Contemplating contradiction
Tell me, what am I contributing?
Contemplating contradiction
I should have been a con man

(Everything is different now)
(Everything is different now)
(Everything is different now)
(Everything is different now)
(Everything is different now)
(Everything is different now)

I clip the darkest images from the negatives of film
Tell me, what am I contributing?
I should have been a con man
A con man
A con man
A con man
