PUP – Familiar Patterns lyrics

[Verse 1]
This business ain't for the faint of heart
I fell for the bullshit
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
