I try to do the best I can Yet everything still falls apart I end every day with the same problems Working their way through my heart Talk but you are distracted We never find a solution Stress poisoning the air around us We keep breathing in pollution Just keep ignoring the damage Acting like we are fine Blind to fact we are tiptoeing Dangerously on a thin line Me pretending that I don’t notice How close we are to the edge You don’t seem to mind the risk Associated with the ledge You listen You attempt to understand Why I live with such fear But can’t change the speed you move at Or switch into a lower gear Don’t hear my worried murmurs Cries fall upon ears rendered deaf If you continue wheeling and dealing Soon nothing will be left Destroying me one piece at a time As you throw your potential away Hoping in time you will see the truth Before it’s too late to stop decay

Before It’s Too Late
I try to do the best I can Yet everything still falls apart I end every day with the same problems Working their way through my heart Talk but you are distracted We never find a solution Stress poisoning the air around us We keep breathing in pollution Just keep ignoring the damage Acting like we are fine Blind to fact we are tiptoeing Dangerously on a thin line Me pretending that I don’t notice How close we are to the edge You don’t seem to mind the risk Associated with the ledge You listen You attempt to understand Why I live with such fear But can’t change the speed you move at Or switch into a lower gear Don’t hear my worried murmurs Cries fall upon ears rendered deaf If you continue wheeling and dealing Soon nothing will be left Destroying me one piece at a time As you throw your potential away Hoping in time you will see the truth Before it’s too late to stop decay
I hate the lifestyle we live
