Stop and Smell Thee Roses
Not to say that we're not fortunate to be born to a world that encourages us to grow
But sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow
Hunger for a change of scenery and drive north in search of snow
Were you prepared for certan shadows to follow you everywhere that you go
My body's been decaying all this time, and now it's finally starting to show
Are you having second thoughts about that path you chose
Now that the fire in your eye has burned down like coals to a warm consistant glow
Well hey the smoke has cleared, you regain the use of your nose
So take a second now to stop and smell the roses, just like you never thought you had time but always thought that you should
At least for now it's okay to take life in smaller doses, something new has come to town seems like it's doin you good
I've come to a new town, sure it's somewhat the same
It feels good to be aware of but still not focus on the cause behind that pain
Sometimes when the moon is right it feels like every inch of nothing's changed, but in some way but not for one second has it stayed the same.
So you remember to eat dinner, remember to feel better
Remember your friends will think that you forgot them if you only write in secret letters
Remember not to focus on the feelings that you lack, just might give yourself a heart attack
But sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow
Hunger for a change of scenery and drive north in search of snow
Were you prepared for certan shadows to follow you everywhere that you go
My body's been decaying all this time, and now it's finally starting to show
Are you having second thoughts about that path you chose
Now that the fire in your eye has burned down like coals to a warm consistant glow
Well hey the smoke has cleared, you regain the use of your nose
So take a second now to stop and smell the roses, just like you never thought you had time but always thought that you should
At least for now it's okay to take life in smaller doses, something new has come to town seems like it's doin you good
I've come to a new town, sure it's somewhat the same
It feels good to be aware of but still not focus on the cause behind that pain
Sometimes when the moon is right it feels like every inch of nothing's changed, but in some way but not for one second has it stayed the same.
So you remember to eat dinner, remember to feel better
Remember your friends will think that you forgot them if you only write in secret letters
Remember not to focus on the feelings that you lack, just might give yourself a heart attack
