lyrics

I will follow
Down the path that I've swallowed
Till it brings me home
I can't keep up
With the speed of culture I come from
But we can refuse
The profiteering of our youth

I need a getaway
A getaway from
The speed of values that seem to counteract the morals I was taught
Days turn into years by night and I feel left behind like a lover without a heart

I can’t complain
Or pray for rain
When everyone else feels the same
Feed to mass produced
Then to consume
And then to procreate
But when does the space between the words
Fit in to make room for happiness?
Art or love or faith are the hands that pray
In the redemptive holiness

We failed to make communication
With these devices held in our hands
But across the East Ave lights
I sat with you and watched the sky
The whole world was listening

We must slow down

The world moves by so fast
I have no time to react
