Lyrics

uhhhhhhh
nothin keep me more occupied than my phone does
makin life way less magic than i hoped it was
at the laundromat i see myself in the soap suds
spinnin... i can't help grinnin cuz it

looks like the way that i been feelin since birth
a metaphor for either my brian, my life or earth
and when it's all done what was it all worth?
i don't know, time to go

i head home from the laundromat, with a laundry bag
on my back walkin on a crosswalk a car's stopped at
the driver and i make eye contact
like that moment in the ocean two pebbles floatin by tap

and that's that

this shit is all is absurd
it's hard to put meaninglessness into words
if you need me imma be feeding the birds
with the other seniors


routine typical everyday average
most days aint a damn thing really happen
tryna find passion in every day action
the journey that we on, isnt very long lasting

routine.... everyday average
most memories we make are not magic
i'm savin up my sanity cuz who knows what could happen
i might have to cash it in in quick fashion


with age the phrase “i got nothin to do”
its liable to change and become something new
when your young it could be somethin that you’re suffering through
then you get older and its wonderful to you


because one man’s boredom is another man’s peace
one man’s rubbish is another’s antiques
its something you cant teach only learn through experience
theories you develop through a series of experiments

lose some excitement, gain some enlightenment
sometimes i feel as if i spend my whole life fightin it
focused on the future overhyping it
or recycling past events that you just cant quite forgit

the world can be cold and the mind even more so
all you gits a funeral you dont get an award show
i’m tryna love it while i have it
especially on them day when there ain’t nothing happenin


routine typical everyday average
most days aint a damn thing really happen
tryna find passion in every day action
the journey that we on, isnt very long lasting

routine.... everyday average
most memories we make are not magic
i'm savin up my sanity cuz who knows what could happen
i might have to cash it in in quick fashion



uhhhhhhh
the days that that your dreams come true are not often
even when they do it's usually not as awesome
as all them, shimmerin images when you saw them
in ya fantasies of a future full of ballin

....the sands keep fallin
from the hourglass top on to the top of ya coffin
to listen to it trcklin's ridiculously, exhaustin
i get lost in

a beat like a maze i be writin for days
i used to think it was a phase
well said phase became several decades
until my body and soul go their separate ways

i be… writing as routine ritual
like i floss or brush my teeth, if you will
a meditative development of a skill
just some everday shit i been doin since i was lil
uh

routine typical everyday average
most days aint a damn thing really happen
tryna find passion in every day action
the journey that we on, isnt very long lasting

routine.... everyday average
most memories we make are not magic
i'm savin up my sanity cuz who knows what could happen
i might have to cash it in in quick fashion
