This song is so great.

"You haven't tried in two years, so why start today?" is honestly so haunting. It's a sort of terrifying sentiment that I can see rip people up slowly and subtly over time. The idea of procrastinating and bad habits being self reinforcing because, to break them, you have to admit that ALL the time before trying to break that habit was wasted, and that every time that decision was made to "not try" was a mistake. It's so insidiously difficult, and outwardly difficult to understand why people fall into that pattern.
