Think Fast

You spent your life hidden away

You never try or that's what you say

You wanna live and feel something here but

Your lungs are filled, addicted to fear

And so you rest, safely in bed

And yet your chest is filling with dread

The screen is blank, the hours go by

There's a solution, but you'd rather die

There's so much to do

Plug in your brain

You gotta think fast, but it's not enough

Or maybe too much, speeding on past, out of touch

Too bad, when you close your eyes

And fall back away, there's nowhere to hide

Have you got a plan, or would you prefer

To cling to your pride?

You're on the phone and can't say a word

You talk too much and get overheard

You bite your hand to cope with the stress

Just grit your teeth, it's bound to hurt less

You rebel girl who can't break the law

You won't let go, just loosen your jaw

You would move on, but don't have the grace

You would glow up, but don't have the face

There's so much to do

Plug in your brain

You gotta think fast, but it's not enough

Or maybe too much, speeding on past, out of touch

Too bad, when you close your eyes

And fall back away, there's nowhere to hide

Have you got a plan, or would you prefer

To cling to your pride?

When your skin

Starts closing in

Caution to the wind, it's not like you've sinned

But it gets too real

Reacquainted with your meal

It's not a big deal, but you're starting to feel

You did no work and had zero fun

You're at the start and nothing got done

You swear to god, that this is the end

And then you do it all over again

There's so much to do

Plug in your brain

You gotta think fast, but it's not enough

Or maybe too much, speeding on past, out of touch

Too bad, when you close your eyes

And fall back away, there's nowhere to hide

Have you got a plan, or would you prefer

To cling to your pride?
