Upward - Umphrey's McGee

Wit and wisdom used to visit now and then

'Cause I wasn’t talking, I was listening

My overthinking tendency is a burden here

The instance is a technicality I’ll forgive

I know, it’s so obvious

Enough to solve the problem here

I know the system isn’t working right

You know as well as I deserve’s too strong a word to write

The page it seems so open, there is too much space

Enough to fill but I’m not full of things to say

As pride is hurled at paper it can’t fill the blank

I’m guessing I’ll be grateful for the facts to thank

I know, it’s so obvious

Enough to solve the problem here

I know the system isn’t working right

You know as well as I deserve’s too strong a word to write
