the pace of life is quickening, picking up
speed with each day that flies by
you gaze in the light of your god-like devices
you can't do it all yet you try
i close my eyes, and i count to 5
and the world is new
change is the only constant
nothing 'bout it we can do
if we slowed time to suit our lives
& had complete control
you could say goodbye to surprises
all matters precise and cold
tsunami through the floodplains
ever expanding, engulfing everything in our path
you can fight the tide, or ride the wave
whatever makes the memories last
no running underwater
in fitful sleep, a shady nemesis
creeps up in the night
something's lost and a line gets crossed
and i try to take flight
my muscles churn, my legs are burning
but still he gains
i feel my fear my anger
all self-directed pain
tsunami through the floodplains,
ever expanding, engulfing everything in our paths
you can fight the tide, or ride the wave
whatever makes the memories last,
no running underwater
nothing bout it we can do
the pace of life is quickening, picking up
speed with each day that flies by
you gaze in the light of your god-like devices
you can't do it all yet you try
