Life In the Fast Lane

The calendar flies off the wall Spinning in a flurry of craziness Agitation brings on palpitations I’m out of breath and out of time Going nowhere at the speed of light Rushing through never slowing down Days quickly slip away out of sight Not heeding any of the warning signs I have little time to nurse the pain Rushing to put out one fire then another I have no time to podium a stage There’s no reward that can sate my hunger I have no time to shelter from the rain I belong to the wild and not a cage It is like I boarded a runaway train My life is either an escape or a hard chase My ladder is high with countless rundles I’m on an endless hunt in the concrete jungle The city beast is sucking the life right out of me I need to cut the cord and be set free Collaboration with Line Gauthier
