Slow,Slow, Quick
dark days, gloomy nights
poppin' pills to feel alright
so many thousands of feet off the ground
wind whispering in my ear, the only sound
the clouds lifting me, I am home
down pour beneath me, clearly shown
finally towering over all the rest
pain slowly fading from my chest
you can see the worlds rotation up here
I stomach each turn with nothing to fear
body num,b, earth still
and heres what steps in : free will
high dive
cuz i'm on over drive
free fall
forget it all
rock botom, my life: out of hand
screaming all the way down, because I can
and suddenly... jus like that
e v e r y t h i n g goes black
clock sontinues to tick
slow
slow
quick
finally color seaps back into sight
and then
I'll do it again
because this is my life.
