Howie Weinberg - Familiar Patterns lyrics

[Verse 1] This business ain't for the faint of heart I fell for the bullsh** 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 sh**ty 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 sh**ty 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 sh**ty 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 sh**ty before I never felt so miserable
