Regular Routine

(Intro)

So we all tend to have our typical patterns that we fall into

Some notice them, some don't

I did

Here are mine

(Chorus)

Welp, oh shit, here we go again

Reliving the routine that I keep rolling in

Wishing I could just lay low and binge

But it's time for me to do what I told my friends

Well, no shit, I am needing to change

Popped two drinks 'cause I'm feeling the strain

Either running around, or I'm freezing in place

It's regular routine that I'd be feeling this way

(Verse 1)

Is it seasonal? Or is it really automatic

For the tension building up to be perceived as all dramatic?

My full storm had died down to low static

Energy is low; it seems like I fucking had it

Hard to recognize when I come in this place

Because I'm too burnt out to run away and escape

It happens every year, nearly exactly to date

When laziness maxes out, it happened today, shit

Now think about this

I'm rarely working out 'cause I am lazy as piss

And barely hanging out with all my friends that I miss

Been wondering if this is just as good as it gets

I didn't write a song for over a whole year

Been slapping bass, and playing melee for a whole year

Now I'm trying to figure out if I belong here

Without any motivation to overcome my little fears

Being lazy is a cycle

It's causing too much stress, I feel like I'm psycho

Just wanna lay in my bed with all the lights out

But I know, in one week, I'll be preaching what my life's about

(Chorus)

Welp, oh shit, here we go again

Reliving the routine that I keep rolling in

Wishing I could just lay low and binge

But it's time for me to do what I told my friends

Well, no shit, I am needing to change

Popped two drinks 'cause I'm feeling the strain

Either running around, or I'm freezing in place

It's regular routine that I'd be feeling this way

(Verse 2)

What came in the mail came as a major surprise

I'm still bloodshot from the strain in my eyes

Now I'm paying bills from just playing at night

Bar tabs, coffee dates - now I'm hating this sight

Swipe here, tap there, I don't even think about it

Spending all my money - well, I treat it like a kid's allowance

It's in and out before I recognize what's happening

When big expenses come along I am left panicking

It's not like I'm buying anything over-the-top

Except for paintings, and a bike that I kept in it's lock

As I'm looking around, I regret what I bought

I should probably learn to budget 'cause it's mentioned a lot

Is it impulsive, or just tension released

To buy what I'm craving, whatever it happens to be?

Whatever the reason, I'm aware of this pattern

I rescue myself from being broken and battered

Doing flips on my credit card balance beam

I'm drowning in what I mistook to be a shallow stream

All I hear is the sound of this loud machine

The light at the end is feeling far out of reach

(Chorus)

Welp, oh shit, here we go again

Reliving the routine that I keep rolling in

Wishing I could just lay low and binge

But it's time for me to do what I told my friends

Well, no shit, I am needing to change

Popped two drinks 'cause I'm feeling the strain

Either running around, or I'm freezing in place

It's regular routine that I'd be feeling this way
