The Pace

Up before the birds are singing One foot off the bed fists swinging Just one of those days hands wringing Look around to pick a fight and trying to conceal Do you ever feel like you wake up on battlefields Struggle inside smile and a frown Put up a fight put your foot down Playing the part think they can tell Acting so cool anxious as hell Shaking a hand keep up the pace Stay on the move fuck up the place Maybe they notice but no one would say just Go on pretending we're doing okay Skipping the caffeine this time I'll just take a tea it's fine How else can I decorate Light the incense and the sage Maybe if I burn enough I'll pass out and avoid today Spiderwebs are sinking sand Resistance is the recipe for failure Struggle inside smile and a frown Put up a fight put your foot down Playing the part think they can tell Acting so cool anxious as hell Shaking a hand keep up the pace Stay on the move fuck up the place Maybe they notice but no one would say just Go on pretending we're doing okay Shortness of the breath while brushing teeth is unexpected Heart beating me up Mirror staring back (I see you) Counting down to launch attack (it's all good) Did I drag this sinew from the other side Continue in for one hell of a ride One hell of a ride Struggle inside smile and a frown Put up a fight put your foot down Playing the part think they can tell Acting so cool anxious as hell Shaking a hand keep up the pace Stay on the move fuck up the place Maybe they notice but no one would say just Go on pretending we're doing okay Struggle inside smile and a frown Put up a fight put your foot down Playing the part think they can tell Acting so cool anxious as hell Shaking a hand keep up the pace Stay on the move fuck up the place Maybe they notice but no one would say just Go on pretending we're doing okay
