Keeping Pace

Paralysis was tightening on me

Leaching off my self control and insecurities

Eloquence to cover up the breach

As suffocating tendencies replayed beyond my reach

Somedays it seems that everything is falling in on me

Somewhere between trying to hold it all inside

And fighting to be free

Yeah I've been keeping pace, keeping pace but barely

Catching up, on what I know I can't be

Keeping pace with the corners of my life

Yeah I've been keeping pace, keeping pace on no sleep

Making way, but headway's a rarity

So keeping pace takes everything tonight

Frozen in my bones, my blood stands still

They can't figure out what's wrong with me and the stress, it never heals

A big old lack of dopamine and pills

The alcohol and rock 'n roll's romantic but it kills

So take the times that feel and make music out of heartbreak

And every hell that don't seem real

Because this life rolls on, until your train, it burns and crashes

Hope it was good 'cause its not long

'Cause I've been sucking blood, but the drink was poisoned

Reaching out, but there's only noise here

Holding onto the good parts of my life

And I think I'm bleeding out, but my instinct tells me

It's only me, I've gotta stop the toxins

Gotta break the bad parts of my life

But it's like the warmth makes up for the dark parts

I hope I sleep, before I really get too far

I don't know when I got lost up in the stars

But I find peace, in music and these scars

But it's like the warmth makes up for the dark parts

I hope I sleep, before I really get too far

I don't know when I got lost up in the stars

But I find peace, in music and these scars
