A fast pace moving in a rat race I can’t think straight everyday’s a replay a long winding road its no end in sight I’m back where I’m at speeding towards a redlight A fast pace moving in a rat race I can’t think straight everyday’s a replay a long winding road it’s no end in sight I’m back where I’m at speeding towards a redlight
Verse 1
I need it now expedient immediately instant gratification I loathe waiting short patience ADHD racing can’t focus I’m random on short notice a goldfish attention span can’t withstand the demand or bustle of day to day I’m on my way to the gig out of my lid a traffic jam slam the breaks cause I nearly rearend another man can’t plan I’m scattered in a matter of moments I’m stranded on a tangent watch and try to beat the clock I’m puzzle must connect the dots can’t stop the race or the endless pace can you endure more or so down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down ugh
Chorus
A fast pace moving in a rat race I can’t think straight everyday’s a replay a long winding road its no end in sight I’m back where I’m at speeding towards a redlight A fast pace moving in a rat race I can’t think straight everyday’s a replay a long winding road its no end in sight I’m back where I’m at speeding towards a redlight
Verse 2
Social networks text till my thumb hurts multimedia outlets channels countless news stations information mountains decipher all their nonsense now their lies lie in my subconscious sense the globe spinning under my feet weeks breeze by in the blink of an eye I’m out of sync link my dysfunction and distraction mind absent of analysis now my body in paralysis internet tv access is easy to keep my hindered nothing prevalent intelligent stay negligent lost in past always seeking the present running in pace the chase outlasts slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down ugh
Chorus
Verse 3
I’m addicted to the chase bombarded with information steady I compete goal to be elite food I eat fast nuked nutrients diluted my stomach grew health microwave towards a grave my own voice fades as the adds replaced consume take why think follow the crowd be shallow hollow words in my subconscious strike a nerve mind control takes hold and dictates my stroll to gain control I learn to be still the real separates voice reverberates a visceral feel slowly I grab the wheel I steer and veer off the maze ending the rat race simply amazed as I slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down will ya slow down slow slow down ugh
Chorus
