The Anti-Procrastination Guide
[Intro] [Verse 1] The list is a fucking monster staring from the screen A thousand things to do, a thousand fires to clean The CEO inside my brain just decided to quit And my amygdala is screaming, "Better not move from this spot, just sit!" The chaos is a cloud, it's thick and sticky and grey And my body just freezes, it's easier this way "Tomorrow, I'll do everything," the same old lie I sell While I run from my own life inside an infinite scroll of hell. [Pre-Chorus] But I'm done with the excuses, done with feeling like shit! Done with waiting for the perfect fucking storm to hit! [Chorus] Take out the mental trash! Dump it on a page! Don't try to sort it all at once, just break out of the cage! Find that one stupid task, the one that's two minutes or less And do it! Fucking do it! You gotta break the goddamn brakes! It's not the fucking mountain, it's the pebble in your shoe! One step at a time! And fuck the waiting game, too! [Verse 2] The laundry is a beast that's sleeping on my bed A sink full of dishes messing with my head But I put on that playlist that gives my soul a jolt And my only single mission is to break the first damn bolt A washing machine is running, a truly heavenly sound A minuscule gesture that starts to tear it all down The tower of my apathy, the castle made of glass That I built all by myself with a full-blown panic attack. [Pre-Chorus] And no, this isn't laziness, it's a system in collapse! It's time to ignore the optimizer and avoid the traps! [Chorus] Take out the mental trash! Dump it on a page! Don't try to sort it all at once, just break out of the cage! Find that one stupid task, the one that's two minutes or less And do it! Fucking do it! You gotta break the goddamn brakes! It's not the fucking mountain, it's the pebble in your shoe! One step at a time! And fuck the waiting game, too! [Bridge] And the knot in my damn shoulder just reminds me of the truth That the body only screams the things the mind desires to mute That the pain is the foundation, the source of all this blight And taking care of the machine is the most important fight. It's not about a new life, it's about calling up that doc. It's not about being someone else, it's making the pain stop. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Take out the mental trash! Dump it on a page! Don't try to sort it all at once, just break out of the cage! Find that one stupid task, the one that's two minutes or less And do it! Fucking do it! You gotta break the goddamn brakes! It's not the fucking mountain, it's the pebble in your shoe! One step at a time! And fuck the waiting game, too! Get outside and walk. Don't run, just walk. But fucking walk! No matter the perfect path. Let's take the first step, Even though it may lack craft. [outro] The chaos is still out there... But today... today I'm in control.
