Speed Of Life
How did I end up here?
When did this all dawn on me?
The ground on which I stood was firm
But nothing sets like concrete
Now or never now seems so clever
But something tells me I should take heed
For I'm on the spot whether I like it not
A moment wasted is the moment I might need
The unbroken inevitable
Is the journey of fate
In fleeting time it's impossible
To let forever and ever be late
Speed of life
Hold on tight
Everything transpires
At the speed of life
When did I become self aware?
When did I start to question reality?
When did love become serious?
When did those tales of a teenage mind become nostalgic memories?
The unbroken inevitable
Is the journey of fate
In fleeting time it's impossible
To let forever and ever be late
Speed of life
Hold on tight
Everything transpires
At the speed of life
Dreams in silence scream like a siren
Pie in the sky forever paralysed
We're all just pipe dream fanatics
Imagining a backdrop of glory
Speed of life
Hold on tight
Everything transpires
At the speed of life
When did this all dawn on me?
The ground on which I stood was firm
But nothing sets like concrete
Now or never now seems so clever
But something tells me I should take heed
For I'm on the spot whether I like it not
A moment wasted is the moment I might need
The unbroken inevitable
Is the journey of fate
In fleeting time it's impossible
To let forever and ever be late
Speed of life
Hold on tight
Everything transpires
At the speed of life
When did I become self aware?
When did I start to question reality?
When did love become serious?
When did those tales of a teenage mind become nostalgic memories?
The unbroken inevitable
Is the journey of fate
In fleeting time it's impossible
To let forever and ever be late
Speed of life
Hold on tight
Everything transpires
At the speed of life
Dreams in silence scream like a siren
Pie in the sky forever paralysed
We're all just pipe dream fanatics
Imagining a backdrop of glory
Speed of life
Hold on tight
Everything transpires
At the speed of life
