Ongoing Issue - This Is What We Do Now

Everybody's feelin like the band's not a success
Of the seven of us, only three have employment
We're pretty sure our parents are embarrassed of this dream
We're hoping on holding out long enough our lives'll change

Everything we say is just a placeholder for arguments
I can't show off the songs I write because they'll start some shit
So let's do a new album cycle with the songs that were on the last record, K?
What's the point of growing pains if we spin our wheels and stay the same

Used to play our music but resentment just built up too much
Now my only time with you is if I set my laptop up
Next to your computer's tower so we can spend some quality
Time collectively cocooning from reality

Used to play our music but resentment just built up too much
Now my only time with you is if I set my laptop up
At your mom's house but it seems like you would probably
Prefer me to stay home cause I think that you've become sick of me

We're in denial and we're in a rut
Someone booked a Tuesday show at the venue we play every month
The same four friends showed up and said this gig was not our best
They said you should play the city more for exposure and our hometown less

Used to play our music but resentment just built up too much
Now the time I spend with you it puts a strain on all of us
So I guess I'll move to China while you reunite and play new stuff
And I'll get back to hiding songs like these I can't bring up
