lyrics

Better get out your own way
They cried as they passed
I thought to myself
Why? It was the end anyway
Better to leave on my own
That’s a choice for another day
A choice for a holiday

Better get on my own time
as my life passed
If I don’t get that
What was the point anyway?

Speed bump ahead
SPEED BUMP AHEAD

High hopes
Met with low bars
High hopes

Speed bump ahead
SPEED BUMP AHEAD

Was on a mission for a minute
Something was missing
Unidentified objects of desire
Detected but uninspected
Expectant
Imminence
Diminishing
By the 2nd
Denial
Put me on trial for my enthusiasms
While others get off on hurting people
And get off anyway
Almost like rules don’t apply
Naive
Since Eve
Someone’s always holding something up their
sleeve

Speed bump ahead
SPEED BUMP AHEAD
