Self-Rationalization

A million reasons to start today But I'll wait a while, let them fade away Just one more break, just one more rest Tomorrow, I'll be at my best I tell myself, "It's just one time" Giving in won't make me fall behind A little delay, who would it harm? Comfort holds me in its arms Self-rationalization, my favorite game I make excuses and pass the blame One step forward, two steps back Lost in the comfort that I lack Plans stack high like walls around "I'll start soon" is the safest sound Push it off for another day The easy path is here to stay I'll chase my goals when the time feels right Tonight, I'll rest, tomorrow I'll fight This cozy trap I built so tight It holds me back, but feels so light Self-rationalization, my favorite game I make excuses and pass the blame One step forward, two steps back Lost in the comfort that I lack *Now, deep down I know the cost Each chance I take is something lost But still, I tell myself a lie Maybe tomorrow, I'll even try Self-rationalization, I know it well Holding me tight in its easy spell One step forward, two steps back Lost in the comfort that I lack*
