Title: Add to Cart (My Real Hobby) Verse 1: I watched some dude paint Gundams with a hand that never shook He said, “Just thin your paints and breathe—there’s even a beginner’s book” So I bought the whole damn setup, airbrush, masks, and twenty inks Turns out spraying tiny plastic takes more patience than you think Now my carpet’s speckled purple, and my fingers kinda sting Guess I won’t be a model master, but I sure bought everything Chorus: Add to cart, chase the dream, live the lie in 1080p Buy the tools, watch the vids, join the subreddit for company Spend a fortune, try it once, then quietly let it be Yeah, my real hobby’s quitting hobbies — that's what's working best for me I'm a collector of beginnings, a curator of defeat But man, I looked like I knew what I was doing last week Verse 2: Got obsessed with baking bread — I watched a guy shape dough with flair He said, “Just feel the flour, friend — it’s all about the air” Now my kitchen smells like failure, and my counter’s cracked in half There’s a proofing basket graveyard and a mixer full of wrath My “easy sourdough” collapsed like hopes in my degree Turns out gluten’s kinda tricky for a poet raised on tea Chorus: Add to cart, chase the dream, live the lie in 4K slow-mo Buy the gear, make a plan, give your inner child a glow Spend your rent on something niche, then list it all for cheap Yeah, my real hobby’s quitting hobbies — I buy joy, then fall asleep And YouTube always greets me like an old familiar friend With a brand new craft to chase... and abandon in the end Bridge: I’ve got a drone I crashed in daylight A synth that never played A calligraphy set unopened Next to leather that I flayed A hiking pack with tags still on And yarn I tried to spin And a vlog camera still sealed up Just in case I try again Verse 3: I watched a guy fix pinball games with wizard hands and charm So I shocked myself on accident and nearly burned the barn So I boxed it all in silence, and I made myself some tea Then I clicked on “How to build a boat,” 'cause maybe that’s just me... Spoken Outro: ...Anyway, I’ve got six tabs open right now One's about pottery, one’s a guy turning a log into a chair with an axe I don’t even have an axe Or a log But the video said “no experience needed,” and… well, you know how it goes I think I just like the promise The idea that this next thing could be *the* thing That maybe I’ll stick with it this time Even though we both know… I probably won’t But hey... I *almost* made a candle once That’s gotta count for something
