Daily Routine

A new schedule to keep
To fit with your daily routine
Things are well
But you can’t help to feel
that you’re losing
But it’s just a part of it
When you get older you learn to deal with it
Take a seat close to the exit
Leave unnoticed
Is it self-destructive
to always push away?
But it’s just a part of it
When you get older you learn to deal with it
I don’t want to deal with it
All nighter, obsessing
Someone gets in your face
Make plans to escape
Something gets in the way
It’s taken you a lot of time to accept
The misplaced trust in yourself

It Follows

Been feeling down
It’s been this way for a while
Can’t see what’s to be done
to turn it around
Feeling alone
Feel like a bum
Got nothing to do for pastime
Changed jobs, hobbies and friends
All the while this feeling of meaningless
Caught up again
Go to work and then back to bed
Feeling alone
Feel like a bum
Got nothing to do for pastime
It follows, can’t be outrun
See it coming far off
Looking away pretending
It’s not going to be the same
Feeling alone
Feel like a bum
Got nothing to do for pastime
Are you alone? Isn’t that a lie?
High past time you realised

Is this it?
What comes next?
A lot of time spent reflecting on this
All there is?
I’m convinced
I missed out on something
Is this it?
With vague goals like these
It’s hard to really know
A harsh self critic
An anxious mess
No rest at all
Out of my head
Wish I could stay
out of my way
and not worry
about choices I have to make,
questions I have to face
Keep putting them off
In my head
Struggling, need more time
No answers found
In work, in love
or in shutting down
Out of my head
Wish I could stay
out of my way
and not worry
about choices I have to make,
questions I have to face
Keep putting them off
In my head
Is this it?
What comes next?
A lot of time spent
Obsessed over minor things
Out of my head
Wish I could stay
out of my way
and not worry
about choices I have to make,
questions I have to face
Keep putting them off
In my head

Deadweight
02:03

Have you steered into oncoming traffic?
Feared the kitchen knife?
“Could I ever? Would I ever?”
Have you fantasised about suicide?
Depressed, tired, boring
Can’t get up in the morning
Deadweight and none performing
Stressed out, can’t recall why
Falling asleep on the couch
Horrible thoughts stuck on your mind
Lost track of something important
and you know that it’s not becoming
to just sit here
Are you interesting enough?
Do you engage enough?
Do they notice if you disappear?
That you’re still here?
Depressed, tired, boring
Sleepless until morning
Deadweight and none performing
Have you fantasised about suicide?

Parked Outside
03:08

Parked outside,
like to sit here sometimes
This place that’s having left but not yet arrived
Just in between
No reason to feel lonely
Still it hits me
Do I try hard enough
to keep what I want?
Seems difficult
the things that used to come so easy
Parked outside,
I can sit here for some time
not wanting to go inside
Coming to terms with my mortality
Am I boring company?
Manically checking my phone
Don’t want to be alone
Still it hits me
Do I try hard enough
to keep what I want?
Seems difficult
the things that used to come so easy

Inertia

Keep having this feeling
that everyone I know
are running past me,
and I’m just trying to keep up
And then those petty thoughts arise
But I try to pay them no mind
Tomorrow, next week
Maybe next year
Do you spend your days
waiting on change?
Keep having small moments of clarity
Of how to straighten out myself;
just to fail instantly
And then those dreary thoughts arise
And I try to pay them no mind
Tomorrow, next week
Maybe next year
Do you spend your days
waiting on change?
Sleep hygiene, the same
Eating habits, the same
Chronic worry, the same
Meditation bores me
Been told my whole life
“You should change”
Tomorrow, next week
Maybe next year
Do you spend your days
waiting on change?
