Can't Finish What You Started Lyrics
Why can't you finish what you've started?
Why can't you try and understand? It doesn't make a bit of difference If you start what you can't finish Every story needs an ending, after all I think I've known it for a long time Suffice to say, it's been a while You're too afraid to face the outcome; Quite likely you're a failure It’s a shitty thing to say, But hey man, the clock is ticking I thought of all the things I'd like to say, Cramped up, and couldn’t write a word all day I just waited for my world to fall apart That’s why I’ll never finish anything I start What fuels the magic in the meantime? I know it's hard without a vice You need to find a new solution An adaptation, a retribution And if you truly do believe in something, Somehow it all works out I thought of all the things I'd like to say, Cramped up, and couldn’t write a word all day I just waited for my world to fall apart That’s why I’ll never finish anything I start I'm completely bored With every single word Nothing ever works And this juvenile search Is systematically revealing to me, That I need a new approach I thought of all the things I'd like to say, Cramped up, and couldn’t write a word all day I just waited for my world to fall apart That’s why I’ll never finish anything I... ...I'm so sick of all the things I try to say Cramped up, and couldn’t write a word all day I just waited for my world to fall apart That's why I'll never finish anything I...

Somehow it all works out"
For the life of me, I can't figure out if MCS is being uncharacteristically optimistic or ironic. Any ideas?

Cramped up, and couldn’t write a word all day
I just waited for my world to fall apart
That’s why I’ll never finish anything I...
the chorus kinda reminds me of like the songwriting process. having like writers block, or not being able to concentrate on one thing for too long.

It also kinda reminds me of the Coen brothers movie "Barton Fink" with the whole "self-destructive artist" who drinks when he can't write. Sadly, I think I kind of idolize that.
I also think that he's coming to terms with the fact that without a vice (drugs or alcohol) the creative process is going to be harder because he's not just having words coming out of him that just flow and work.
Long story short: it's hard to write something because of ridiculous amounts of self-doubt/loathing.
