Scumble
Sometimes we're arrogant until we slip and stumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're connivers until the outcomes crumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're self-assured until we miss and bumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're satisfied until we start to grumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're conceited until we trip and tumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're disdainful until we make a jumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're complacent until we botch and fumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're toffee-nosed until we must be humble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're bigheaded until we crash and rumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
Sometimes we're understood until we start to mumble.
The lines and colors soften from the lesson's scumble.
