(Verse 1)
The sun hits the floor like a heavy weight
Another morning running way too late
I swore last night I’d turn the page
But I’m still locked inside the same old cage
The coffee’s cold and the room is a mess
Just a physical map of my own distress
I know the path, I know the trap
But I’m still folded in the center of the map.
(Chorus)
I’m a creature of bad habits, spinning on a wheel
Chasing down a ghost of how I used to feel
I build a bridge then I watch it burn
I’m the master of the lesson that I never learn
Yeah, I’m a creature of bad habits
And the cycle starts again.
(Verse 2)
I make a promise to the bathroom mirror
“Tomorrow’s the day that the smoke will clear”
But by 5 PM, the resolve wears thin
And I’m opening the door to let the shadows in
It’s a comfortable haunting, a familiar sting
I’m a puppet on a very short, dirty string
I say I’m done, I say I’ve had enough
But I’m addicted to the jagged edge of the rough.
(Chorus)
I’m a creature of bad habits, spinning on a wheel
Chasing down a ghost of how I used to feel
I build a bridge then I watch it burn
I’m the master of the lesson that I never learn
Yeah, I’m a creature of bad habits
And the cycle starts again.
(Bridge)
It’s not that I’m blind, I see the light
I just choose the dark every single night
There’s a safety in the failure, a peace in the fall
When you stop trying to climb, you don’t fear the wall.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
I’m a creature of bad habits, spinning on a wheel
Chasing down a ghost of how I used to feel
I build a bridge then I watch it burn
I’m the master of the lesson that I never learn
Yeah, I’m a creature of bad habits
And the cycle starts again.
(Outro)
Starts again...
Same old shoes, same old street
Tracing circles with my tired feet
Maybe tomorrow...
But I know me better than that.
(Fade out)
