Counting the Paces

Help me, everything feels like a sham

I don't know who the hell I am

And no one can tell I'm alone

Help me, I feel like I'm covered in sand

I've got to get out of this mood

I don't have a vine I can hold on to

It's like every time, I defeat myself

Into the ring, now I'm choosing the weapon

No, no, no, don't shoot

Help me, everything's crumbling down

I feel like a bug on the ground

So stepped on by accident, stuck on you

Please, whatever I said, I don't mean it

This is my worst, now you've seen it

Calmly just put down the shoe

It's like every time, I defeat myself

Into the ring, now I'm counting the paces

No, no, no, don't shoot

Can't we just be free?

Can't we just be free?

Can't we just be free?

I wish I could take more time to savor

Thoughts and reflect, but it all is

Flowers outside of the bullet train

Here comes one of those tunnels again

Where nobody could see it coming

Caught by surprise and you hold your breath

It's like every time, I defeat myself

Into the ring, now I'm counting the paces

No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no, don't shoot
