Standard Break Lyrics
Ive got a regular problem
So my standard break from life is in order
Im having trouble making sentences
Im older but I don't feel any smarter
You see I don't know what I said to you
And now youre pissed at you know who
And I guess I deserve it
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
I try to leave a good impression
But its hard when my obsession's in a wine glass
And when you're only 23
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
Yeh I can bitch until my eyes are blue
And youre in bed with someone new
And I guess you deserve him
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
You say Im fixable
A classic case, lack of will
I say I dont wanna try
Id rather stay here all night
Ive got a motivation problem
So my standard break from life is getting longer
Spent over 30 hours in this bed
In two days, I guess I could have phoned her
But now that Im awake
Id rather take a drink
And walk down to the lake
And beg the sky for lightning bolts
I cant waste my time without wasting all your time
And you say its fixable
A classic case, lack of will
I say "I dont wanna try
Id rather sit here all night."
So my standard break from life is in order
Im having trouble making sentences
Im older but I don't feel any smarter
You see I don't know what I said to you
And now youre pissed at you know who
And I guess I deserve it
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
But its hard when my obsession's in a wine glass
And when you're only 23
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
Yeh I can bitch until my eyes are blue
And youre in bed with someone new
And I guess you deserve him
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
You say Im fixable

I say I dont wanna try
Id rather stay here all night
So my standard break from life is getting longer

this song is about wanting something but not having enough strength to try to get it. You know waht ylou want but you dont feel confident enough that you will get it. any difficulty and you have to take a break from life. and during that break you think about all your faults and how bad life is and how the person your stressing about dosnt deserve you. about breaking your ties with reality but not wanting your significant other to know how deep you hurt, and then in the end just saying fuck it about the relashionship beacuse its not worth it in the end and you might as well get drunk
This song fucking rocks. It is one of the best Alk3 songs. I cant wait to see them on April 24th in Pittsburgh! :-D
This song isn't even titled correctly, what the hll is wrong with NihilisticFerret? Are you retarded?? This is so obviously not the title of the song. Wow, that's just plain pathetic, either way good song, I enjoy it a lot.
daveyhavok- no need to be mean man... chill out
I just love how he says that "you" are sayingc "its fixable, a classic case, lack of will", and then he proves the person perfectly correct by saying "I dont wanna try, Id rather sit here all night." It's cute.
this song reminds me of someone i know,he's a real stoner who threw his job, girlfriend and prospects down the shitter coz he couldn't be fucked to do any thing except stay up all night and get mashed. what a wanker.
I can relate to the line about his sore back. I'm only 20 and i'm constantly bitching about how much my back aches. Also, i'm pretty sure it's 'pint glass', not 'wine glass'.
standard break from life being what else but alcohol. someone is tierd of his drinking habbits, and instead of trying to win them back, or stop them, he just drinks
I don't like this song very much. The lyrics are all right, but they have ones that are WAY better and much richer with figurative language and such. Plus the way he sings reminds me of Blink182 or something.. I'm not digging it.
'Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time' - this line is so true
