New Soldering from Regulars by Completions
New Soldering came along during tracking for I NEEDED HELP, but we were too far along in the mixing process by the time it was finished, so here it is instead.
I've struggled with work addiction as far back as I can remember. And it really didn't feel like that big of a deal when I was the only person who had to experience the sacrifices of time and energy and body. When I got married, it really reminded me that I needed to change the equation -- not just for Brooke's sake, but for mine.

Lyrics
Sam called on my day off
It's priority one
A fire drill at work
Only I can solve
I was mad at the lack of boundary
Then I felt the dread in his delivery
I elect to step into hero mode for Sam again
That's where I lose notions of me
Notice of promises I wouldn't chase activity
To feel right
It's the little slip that leads to burnout happening faster
It was so easy to feed
A work addiction
With no one wed to me
I hate what Brooke has to see
When I am the zombie
And all I crave are brains
I elect to step out of overdrive for us this time
To foster new soldering
Honoring promises I wouldn't chase activity
To feel right
To find more to life than service to an overtime pattern
But a little slip can lead to burnout happening faster
I elect to step into better balance over time
