Race Against The Clock
Cleanse our bodies
Wash our minds
We pull the roots up
We look to the sky
We beg for forgiveness
Return to our games
No longer are sinners and saints
Race against the clock
I can't cope with the way we live
On the fray of death
Overwhelmed
Odd are stacked against us
Head held under water
Breath it in
How could you Fuck it up
All because
I long for the better
Haven't found someone wise enough
To call me on my bluff
So why do I still feel
Like I'm not good enough
Picking apart the lessons
That time has given
We've had enough
We're taking all the control back from you
You've fed me lies
A paradise Shelter
I think I'm ready to move out of your clutch
Can't stop the race with time
We won't sleep
The body will break
Before the mind does
Keep sight on as better life
And not what's beyond me
(That's what makes or breaks a man)
And I feel the impending urgency
I've been running from the end
Like its a concern to me
Lines blurred by the words of the clergy
Keep on pointing fingers
Rekindling our worst dreams
Race against the clock
I can't cope with the way we live
On the fray of death
Been trying to find my way for so long
I can't sleep
Without missing a beat
I can't dream
Without losing the world around me
(The world around me)
Breath it in...
