Procrastination
Alex Lewis Lyrics

She entrances me and takes me away
She lures me in and distracts me from my responsibilities

Paralyzes me with words and makes my life feel passé
She prevents me from making progress and makes me feel unaccomplished

I try to escape her face her mind her scent
I attempt to avoid her influence and presence

And when I think I'm free I feel her breathe down my neck
Even when I think I've overcome my procrastination, I feel its presence lurking

She's a temptress a seductress who I know well
Procrastination is a familiar and enticing force in my life

She's gonna take me down and keep me in a do nothing hell
Procrastination will lead me to inactivity and unfulfilled potential

She made me lose my job she made me lose my mind
Procrastination has had negative consequences on my career and mental state

She gives me nothing and takes all of my time
Procrastination offers no benefits and only wastes my time

And I was so productive before I took an arrow in the knee
I used to be productive until procrastination became an obstacle

She shot through my knee!
Procrastination has hindered my progress and productivity

Procrastination, you put distractions in my head
Procrastination creates mental distractions that prevent me from focusing on tasks

You make me get about as much done as the dead
Procrastination leads to little to no progress being made

But it feels so good to be a mental masturbator I'm a P R O C ugh... I'll do it later
Procrastination may feel satisfying in the moment, but it will lead to unfulfilled potential

I try to sit down and get something done
I attempt to focus and complete tasks

But she spins my head in circles and says let's have fun
Procrastination leads to distraction and avoidance of responsibilities

I was hired for a job as a baby sitter
I was given a job that requires responsibility

I shower for an hour and forget to clear the trash (Stinky)
Procrastination leads to neglect of responsibilities, such as cleaning

Instead of paying taxes I was shaving my ass
Procrastination can lead to avoidance of important tasks, such as paying taxes

My roommate was in trouble when she had to many capers
Procrastination leads to neglecting the needs of others

Cause I was playing Jenga stead of buying toilet paper
Procrastination leads to neglect of important household tasks

Procrastination, you got me up against the wall
Procrastination has left me feeling trapped and unable to progress

You pin me down spin me around and make me wanna ball
Procrastination leads to frustration and a feeling of being overwhelmed

You suck my life away until it's good and gone
Procrastination wastes my time and can prevent me from reaching my goals

It took me twelve years just to write this song
Procrastination can lead to delayed progress and difficulty completing tasks

But it feels so good to be a mental masturbator I'm a P R O C ugh...
Procrastination may feel satisfying, but this will ultimately lead to unfulfilled potential

Procrastination, you put distractions in my head
Procrastination creates mental distractions that prevent me from focusing on tasks

You make me get about as much done as the dead
Procrastination leads to little to no progress being made

But it feels so good to be a mental masturbator I'm a P R O C woah...
Procrastination can feel pleasurable, but it ultimately prevents me from reaching my goals

I'll do it later!
I will continue to procrastinate and delay completing tasks

Yeah!
An exclamation of agreement or affirmation

I'll do it later!
I will continue to procrastinate and delay completing tasks

When you gonna do it?
Asking when the tasks will be completed

I'll... I'll do it later!
Continuing to delay completing tasks

Like right now?
Asking if the tasks will be completed immediately

I said I'll f**king do it later!
Becoming frustrated with the pressure to complete tasks now

But I want it now!
Expressing a desire for the tasks to be completed immediately

I'll do it... LATER!
Continuing to delay completing tasks
