Looking past my shoulder at the path left
Wonder if I did my best
Spent too much time counting beats in my chest
Is it racing?
Stumble around the room pacing, breaking character
Time to put something together

What does that say about us?
Constantly reminded it’s time to grow up
Yet a few generations too late to join the club
Our worth constantly trickling bottom-up
What are we putting away for? Rainy days?
Can barely afford to lock my door
Besides landlord always got a key or a court order
Rather see it bordered up then a human cared for
A breakfast so exquisite dropped me a tax bracket
For dinner, a single packed plastic wrapped carrot
Let it bob and weave, tired eyes can barely see
Chase with feet pounding, remain static
Taught through hard work, it would all be cinematic
But now caught off guard as ours times erratic
And any plans won’t survive, perhaps change tactic
Finally some time to be dramatic

Looking past my shoulder at the path left
Wonder if I did my best
Spent too much time counting beats in my chest
Is it racing?
Stumble around the room pacing, breaking character
Time to put something together

Running, running, running in my head
You’ve been lying, lying, lying this is it
I’ve been tirelessly grinding till my end
Now I’m tied up to mind until I’m dead
Am I the creator of my reality?
Can I be everything I want me to be?
If so why do I give all my power away
To these demons on my shoulders just wishing me pain?
I just numb myself with the dull and mundane
Introspection reveals to my membrane
Power belongs to the one who will break the chain
Oh maverick, god of gods
Rise up now, against all odds
Bare your soul,
Follow what it shows to you
At first reluctantly walk your path
But soon you’ll find the hourglass will drip fast
Happiness will last

Ink to the page, the verse, live the rehearse
Take the stage, find what we’re made of, from curse
To our love, find the glove that fits and believe in it
Find the absurd and commit
Live to teach & raise, or give birth to a golden age
Find space in your day, or maybe give way
Enjoy a cliche no matter how over played
Head out, enjoy some sun or some shade
Laugh at yourself or find what that means
I mean in this shit I believe, but I still find it cheesy
Just do what the fuck you please for me
Just do what the fuck you please for me
Just do what the fuck you please for me

My struggle with melody certainly an ego clambering for adoration right god damn now
A little time on my hands, I see less of a reflection with a raised eyebrow

Found a sense of bliss I've never known
The way the day breaks
The way the night sleeps
The way the time fades
The way we let go
The way we’re here
Even when we’re not near

Looking past my shoulder at the path left
Wonder if I did my best
Spent too much time counting beats in my chest
Is it racing?
Stumble around the room pacing, breaking character
Time to put something together

Looking past my shoulder at the path left
Wonder if I did my best
Spent too much time counting beats in my chest
Is it racing?
Stumble around the room pacing, breaking character
Time to put something together
