Familiar Patterns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This business ain't for the faint of heart
Well, I fell for the bullshit
And then I started fallin' apart
And by the end of the summer
I let 'em get the best of me
What a goddamn bummer
What a waste of my energy
[Chorus]
So I spent a long time down in the basement
Instead of rollin' with the riff-raff
'Cause I know better
I know better than that
Yeah, I spent a lifetime tryin' to make it
And when I finally faced the facts
I never felt so shitty before
I never felt so miserable
[Verse 2]
Following familiar patterns
I'm fallin' back into ruin
I'm getting serious douche chills
Just bein' in this room
I didn't even see the humour
With the situation I was in
Knockin' back Jell-O shooters
'Til I puked in the kitchen
[Chorus]
Yeah, I spent a long time down in the basement
Instead of rollin' with the riff-raff
'Cause I know better
I know better than that
I spent a lifetime tryin' to make it
And when I finally faced the facts
I never felt so shitty before
I never felt so miserable
[Bridge]
They used to all talk down to me
And now they're biting their tongues
They used to say, "Don't quit your day job"
Well guess what? I never had one!
I never felt so shitty before
I never felt so miserable
[Chorus]
I spent a long time down in the basement
Instead of rollin' with the riff-raff
'Cause I know better
I know better than that
Yeah, I spent a long time trying to make it
And when I finally faced the facts
I never felt so shitty before
I never felt so miserable
