routine
what a complicated relationship we share
remember when i was just a kid
and the thought of having you around
gave me bad feelings i couldn't brush down
i thought you were responsible 
for the wastes of life
if our time is so very little
forgive me but i cannot be so brittle
as to spend it on silly repetitions
that don't meet my ambitions
good mornings had no point
don't get me started on house chores
sleep already robs you enough
routine won't catch me 
she might as well give up
now my naive sense of adventure
has been suffering some censure
life is too uncertain without goals
so uncertain your mind begs for control
and you can't really accomplish anything
without this tiny flame called constancy
and this is where it gets tricky
i misjudged you before
and i hope you're not too proud
to have your faith in me restored
'cause now i see your importance
you want me to compromise this moment
thinking about the full picture performance
and i'm finally ready for the long run
as long as our falling out is done.
