Uncomfortable Pace

from Impossible Things by New People

/

lyrics

I'm drunk and at the top of my world
And it’s a beast I can’t explain things to
I’ve gone and made it easy to curl me up
At least I make a smaller target that way
For pressing things congeal on my head
Please leave me sleepy instead and less overwhelmed

'Cause life's just tearing by at an uncomfortable pace

I’m open to impossible things
The fortune future will bring down around these statues we are
I am, that is, I don’t want to change, I think
At least in a way that will freak me out or something
But pressing things are closing around me
And they threaten to drown me in a million small ways

'Cause life's just tearing by at an uncomfortable pace for me
My life's just ripping by at an uncomfortable pace

I’m drunk and at the top of my world
And I’ve been here before though the lighting has changed
And it’s bright and it’s good and it’s warm and it’s fine
And it’s as scary as hell and it’s the best I can find
And I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
At the quickening edge of my prime

'Cause life's just tearing by at an uncomfortable pace for me
My life's just tearing by at an uncomfortable pace
