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
