Let Them Slip Away

The more things change

The more they stay the same

It's gets hard to look back

At all those yesterdays

You don't feel it moving

When you're in the centre of the storm

The calmness hides the loss

Of all the time that's gone

Moving so fast to get things done

You forget that all that ends has also begun

Distracted by constant nonsense

Blinded by the serotonin rush

We don't have time to count the days

We just let them slip away

No one tells you that if you're lucky you'll get old

Ending up a stranger in your own time

But that's the way it goes

All you'll see is diminishing returns

A creeping sense of dissatisfaction

But try and not to let it show

Moving so fast to get things done

You forget that all that ends has also begun

Distracted by that constant nonsense

Blinded by the oxytocin rush

We don't have time to count the days

We just let them slip away

Do you remember when everything was fun

Now everything costs double

And it takes twice as long to get things done

I'm not saying that the world got even worse

It just seems like everything just feels off

Moving so fast to get things done

You forget that all that ends has also begun

Distracted by that constant nonsense

Blinded by the dopamine rush

I didn't have a chance to count the days

I just let them slip away

I remember when I thought we'd change the world

When options seemed limitless and you'd always get the girl

But life happens whether you like it or not

They don't give you a handbook or a hint at the plot

Moving to the blind curve

Racing to the final finish

I've failed before and I'll fail again (and again, again again)

As my body betrays me now I'll hold fast

Ready for that endless empty blast
