Can't seem to move from where I was, I was ahead
Going backwards, but I stop and find
That I'm not moving at all
See it's forced perspective
Everyone else is moving forward
So it only seems like I'm dropping back soon to be dead
But no, I don't live, but I'm not dying
No matter how hard I'm trying
I'll never catch up, never surpass
At the end of race, I'll get there, but get there last
Maybe everyone will fall asleep
Maybe everyone will be me
Where I am now, that's them in the future
I don't wish that on them, but I wish to capture
The spirit that my personality won't diminish
And use it and use it to be the only one to finish
But I'm sorry, just give me a minute to shine
I'm out of breath
Did I say breath, I meant time
I ran as fast as I could at the beginning of the race
Now I see that I gotta go at my own pace
Slowly but surely he climbed you'll hear them say
Fearing the fall but that'll be another day
Until then, I have to take it step by step
Until they don't see the mistake that I kept
Yeah there was a time when I was lonely
Albeit that's still now, but it taught me to go slowly
I'll tell you this, I don't think life treats me fair
But I'd rather be a tortoise than be a... guy that doesn't get anywhere
