Counting the Paces Lyrics



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?



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, don't shoot
