Everyone's more rock n' roll than me
Y'all are out double fisting 40's
Got my sleeping mask on and my earplugs in
The same old dog, the same old tricks
Y'all can have the nightlife
I just want to get to game night
On auto-pilot I'm crying
I'm always whining and sighing "woe is me"
This time I'm changing/rearranging
My existence is flipping from "I don't know" to "yes I know"
I just want some good food
I just want some sleep
I want to change this old routine me
My declaration of changes, it's time to finally face it
Woe is me

I'm done giving chase
Gonna slow down my pace for once
Enjoy all the scenery I rushed by
I didn't slow down
I lied to myself
And who'd believe it?
Yeah I'd believe it
Why's it gotta be everything?
Why's it gotta be nothing?
Yeah I wanna learn
Yeah I'm gonna learn how to moderate
So took a break in September '18
and I lasted all of two weeks
Call it progress, call it something
I never know what I'm doing
Why's it gotta be everything?
Why's it gotta be nothing?
Yeah I wanna learn
Yeah I'm gonna learn how to moderate
"Addicted to pressure?"
"That's the stupidest thing I've heard"
That's all I've ever heard

I'm too nervous to talk
About anything, including my thoughts
And I know it's that bad
Is it really that bad?
Is it really that bad?
Are you really that sad?
Is it really that bad?
I'm sorry dad, I get nervous every time that I call
I'm sorry brother, cause I never call
I'm sorry mother, I promise to visit you soon
When I'm over these blues
I don't think it's right to cop out and say "that's life"
Come on man, it's our life
Is it really that bad?
Why you leaving so fast?
Do you think it's gonna last?
Is it really that bad?
I'm sorry dad, I get nervous every time that I call
I'm sorry brother, cause I never call
I'm sorry mother, I promise to visit you soon
When I'm over these blues

Four words I'd love to hear from you
"I'm proud of you"
A martyr for honor if only we stay true
I want to believe that it's true
That good effort is rewarded for all of our paid dues
I hope it's true
No this wasn't our year and it won't be next year
And I'll say it when no one else will say it
And you'll hear it when you need to hear it
I'm proud of you

Routine Me

Well the arts have been failing me
Or maybe I'm the one who's failing
Lately I don't know what I love
But I always know who I love
That's enough of complaining about generic crap
About hating life
Insert clever comment here
That's enough, yeah that's enough
I guess we're too weird for the punks
Or too punk for the weirdos
I sold tickets, I spread flyers
Does any of this have any worth?
I'm scared you'll fall to the drink
That's not the only thing....
I talk of change, yet I remain the same
That's enough of complaining about generic crap
About hating life
Insert clever comment here
That's enough, yeah that's enough
(I ain't got no money)
That's enough of complaining about generic crap
About hating life
(That's okay I'll find a way to pay the rent.)
Insert clever comment here
That's enough, yeah that's enough

Self-Care Reminder

We're not convenient and I now I see it
And I'll see myself out too
And when I'm serious no one believes it
And I believe that I'm through
It's consume or feed
I wanna be in between
Remind myself my thoughts are temporary like me
It's time for some self-care
When will I get there? Tell me I'll get there
It's been 24 years and I"m still trying to get there
This time I'm gonna get there
It's consume or feed
I wanna be in between
This time I swear I'll take good care of me
This time things will be different
This time
I know I've said this at least 24 times
It's consume or feed
I wanna be in between
This time I'll make sure i'm priority

Vs The Depression

Who you gonna call when things get scary?
It's me, your friends, and family.
We can feel it coming back again
Are you ready? We can beat this.
Every time the depression comes back, we'll just follow the plan
Come on, we can beat this
When getting out of the bed is the hardest part
I know that's a rough start
Come on, we can conquer this
No one calls or checks in
Sometimes people forget
I promise I'll never forget
Are you ready? It's coming again.
Every time the depression comes back, we'll just follow the plan
Come on, we can beat this
When getting out of the bed is the hardest part
I know that's a rough start
Come on, we can conquer this
Sometimes you don't want help
I'll still give you all of my help
I know it must be hard so trying beat this by your self
You got this
Every time the depression comes back, we'll just follow the plan
Come on, we can beat this
When getting out of the bed is the hardest part
I know that's a rough start
Come on, we can conquer this

Manic Certainty

I've lost the joy from the things I used to love
I'm sick of the grind
I've been ground to dust
Am I out of my prime?
Did I miss the best parts of my life?
Well hey, tell me I can beat these hopeless negative days
Tell me I can get back to those positive ways
I'm begging for just a speck of inner peace
Even if it's at the cost of admitting defeat
I forgot what my life meant outside of this
Now I sound so dramatic
Was I too genuine?
Was I a little too honest?
Well hey, tell me I can beat these hopeless negative days
Tell me I can get back to those positive ways
I'm begging for just a speck of inner peace
Even if it's at the cost of admitting defeat
I'm too scared to let this chapter end
So what if I am?
It's time to face it
I'm too scared to let this chapter end
I'll cherish those times
Until the very end
I was supposed to rest just for a couple of weeks
But instead I lost all of 2019

Used to always lend a hand
Now they're stuck in my pockets
How did it get like this?
And honestly, I gave this everything
There's gotta be more than one thing that makes us happy
It's not the timing
It's just reality
It's not meant to be
And honestly, I gave this everything
There's gotta be more than one thing that makes us happy
Sick of always being the doormat
I wanna be the one that does the stepping
And honestly, I gave this everything
There's gotta be more than one thing that makes us happy

Remember when we had it?
Remember when we had direction?
I think I lost it
What's your five-year plan
Tell me what's your biggest weakness?
I work too hard
I care too much
And it seems that's never enough
I was willing to die for this
And I should have enjoyed the moment
But I was too busy thinking ahead
And I should have enjoyed the moment
Wait!
No one's got it figured out.
Is that comforting?
Wait!
I think my life is figured out...
I work too hard
I care too much
And it seems that's never enough
I don't wanna die for this
And I should have enjoyed the moment
But I was too busy thinking ahead
And I should I have enjoyed the moment
I should have enjoyed the moment
I should have enjoyed the moment
I work too hard, I care too much
I could enjoy this moment
I could enjoy this moment
But when would I start?
Tell me when to start
