My Standard Break from Life
Navigating Life's Breaks: A Reflection on Challenges and Choices
Lyrics
I've got a regular problem
I have a recurring problem.
So my standard break from life is in order
My usual break from life is necessary.
I'm having trouble making sentences
I struggle to construct sentences.
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter
Despite aging, I don't feel any wiser.
You see I don't know what I said to you
I don't remember what I said to you, causing anger.
And now you're pissed at you know who
You are upset at someone specific.
And I guess I deserve it
I acknowledge that I probably deserve the anger.
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
I wish I could enjoy my time without affecting yours.
I try to leave a good impression
I aim to leave a positive impression.
But it's hard when my obsession's in a pint glass
My obsession often involves drinking (in a pint glass).
And when you're only twenty three
Complaining about physical issues at age 23 is unappealing.
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
I can complain endlessly, and you're with someone new.
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue
I can continue complaining until I'm emotionally drained.
And you're in bed with someone new
You are in a new relationship, and I accept it.
And I guess you deserve him
I acknowledge that you deserve the new person.
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
I wish I could use my time without affecting yours negatively.
You say I'm fixable
You believe I can be fixed.
A classic case, lack of will
A classic case of lacking willpower, as per your opinion.
I say I don't wanna try
I express unwillingness to try and improve.
I'd rather sit here all night
I prefer sitting idle all night than making an effort.
I've got a motivation problem
I lack motivation.
So my standard break from life is getting longer
My usual break from life is becoming more extended.
Spent over 30 hours in this bed
I spent a significant time in bed without contacting someone.
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her
I could have called, but now it seems too late.
But now that I'm awake
Now that I'm awake, I choose to drink instead.
I'd rather take a drink
I'd rather go to the lake than communicate.
And walk down to the lake
I seek solace in nature and hope for inspiration.
And beg the sky for lightning bolts
I yearn for a dramatic change or revelation.
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time
I can't utilize my time without negatively impacting yours.
You say it's fixable
You believe my situation can be remedied.
A classic case, lack of will
A classic case of lacking willpower, as per your opinion.
I say I don't wanna try
I express unwillingness to try and improve.
I'd rather sit here all night
I prefer sitting idle all night than making an effort.
