Routine Lyrics - Hand.cannot.erase. - Steven Wilson

What do I do with all the children's clothes? 

Such tiny things that still smell of them 

And the footprints in the hallway 

On to my knees, scrub them away 

And how to be of use? 

Make the tea and the soup 

All of their favourites, throw them away 

And all their school books and their running shoes 

Washing them clean in the dirty steel sink 

Routine keeps me in line 

Helps me pass the time 

Concentrates my mind 

Helps me to sleep

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Keep making beds, keep the cat fed 

Open the windows, let the air in 

Keep the house clean, keep the routine 

Paintings they made still stuck to the fridge 

Keep cleaning, keep ironing 

Cooking their meals on the stainless steel hob 

Keep washing, keep scrubbing 

Long until the dark comes to bruise the sky 

Deep in the debt to night 

Routine keeps me in line 

Helps me pass the time 

Helps me to sleep. 

Routine keeps me in line 

Helps me pass the time 

Helps me to sleep.

The most beautiful morning forever 

Like the ones from far off, far off away 

With the hum of the bees in the jasmine sway 

Don't ever let go 

Try to let go 

Don't ever let go 

Try to let go 

Don't ever.
