Lyrics

SPEED LIMITS
Silhouette trees
Blurred out road signs
I watched as the demons thrive
And I heard in the back of my mind
That they’ll never know me while I’m alive
Scarlett roads
Haunt my dreams
I was never gonna hold up lonely nights for you dear
I struggle
Prayed upon the altars but I wasn’t worth the trouble
White denim
Stained with blood from the buttons that I’m pressing
Stressing
I deciphered the message
Double drop tabs enter mazes where I’m severed
From the matrix, lately
I’m always faded
Higher than my taxes but lower than my wages
Brake lights demonstrate the great height
As I stand on the bridge, I’m just trynna taste life
I’m fine, but I’m not fine
All I wanted was an audience to hear of all my hallowed rhymes
Time is no-one’s home
It’s a construct we employ to define how we’ve grown
And in the tome I scream up high
Breaking speed limits as I drink and drive
And still, time is no-one’s home
We herd ourself in to man-made zones
And I’ve been reckless
In spite of my denial that had always been the nexus
I’m breathless, collectors left me in the entrance
Of planes where I’m guilty well that’s the consensus
Penetrate the precious
Shatter what’s senseless
They tore me apart I’d never felt more whole
Relishing their youth I’d never felt more old
So serene their expression as I’m riddled with volts
My fragile wrists are crippled by bolts
Hold me, just hold me mum
This world doesn’t love me like they said in the hymns that we sung
And my tongue succumbs
To their dagger dressed words littered like breadcrumbs
I’ve aged so fast for someone not alive
I struggle to be honest when I’m forced in disguises
I’m fine, but I’m not fine
All I wanted was forgiveness for romantic crimes
Time is no-one’s home
It’s a construct we employ to define how we’ve grown
And in the road I scream up high
Breaking speed limits as I drink and drive
And still, time is no-one’s home
We herd ourselves in to man-made zones
I’ve no money and I’m hungry but I get free drugs
So I push ‘em to my tummy to forget the wet tear ducts
I dream of a jump right off the construct
It’s a cruel world to even have to adjust to
Burnt rubber odours
Car crash lives
Break lines shudder under rolling eyes
I don’t think that I’ll be here for a long time
I’m just scared too end it so I drink and drive
I’m fine, but I’m not fine
All I ever really wanted to do was more than survive
Time is no-one’s home
It’s a construct we employ to define how we’ve grown
And all alone I scream up high
Breaking speed limits as I drink and drive
And still, time is no-one’s home
We herd ourself in to man-made zones
I’m fine, I swear I’m fine
All I needed was a card so I could cut another line
Time is no-one’s home
It’s a construct we employ to define how we’ve grown
I’m fine
I’m fine
