I just need to breathe A courtesy, time’s taking the wheel Where are we going? Where have we been? Well, my lungs went out the window Arms on six and then vertigo I hit ground and then it hit me What it means to be American Tripped over words as they Poured from my mouth Solution’s on the shelf I caught myself catching myself I’ve been chasing new and changing, too Sub me in and sell me out Courting a bitter thief We’re building houses made of transience And tearing out the appendix Don’t integrate derivatives Just brace for the impact Don’t press your foot on the pedal We’re going fast enough We’re going fast enough This one’s for the books And this one’s for the pages I tear out passing faces, and Liminal spaces are my home The floor is more comfortable Than the bed I know I was punched in the nose for Sticking my face in other people’s business But I am just a witness for this mess I was playing summer But the leaves were bleeding autumn My journal wasn’t perfect And neither was my life So I let go and learned how to walk again Sub me in and sell me out Courting a bitter thief We’re building houses made of transience And tearing out the appendix Don’t integrate derivatives Just brace for the impact I'm packing up my things And living in between I need a change of scene 'Cause there’s nothing left of me here But here I was and there I’ll be So brace for the impact Don’t press your foot on the pedal We’re going fast enough We’re going fast enough We’re going fast enough We’re going fast enough I'm petrified and out of place But my heart is still the same I'm petrified and out of place But my heart is still the same
