Familiar Patterns

This business ain't for the faint of heart

I fell for the ********

Then I started falling apart

And by the end of the summer

I let 'em get the best of me

What a god damn bummer

What a waste of my energy

So I spent a long time down in the basement

Instead of rolling with the riff raff

Cause I know better I know better than that

Yeah I spent a lifetime trying to make it

And when I finally faced the facts

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable

Following familiar patterns

I'm falling back into ruin

I'm getting serious douche chills

Just being in this room

I couldn't even see the humour

With the situation I was in

Knocking back jell o shooters

Till I puked in the kitchen

Yeah I spent a long time down in the basement

Instead of rolling with the riff raff

Cause I know better I know better than that

I spent a lifetime trying to make it

And when I finally faced the facts

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable

They used to all talk down to me

And now they're biting their tongues

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

I spent a long time down in the basement

Instead of rolling with the riff raff

Cause I am no better I'm no better than that

Yeah I spent a long time trying to make it

Well I've finally faced the facts

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable
