Off the Track Lyrics

Firing the engines while I'm off the track

Either myself or someone else must be on the attack

And woe to the willpower that I lack

To keep this damn monkey from crawling all up my back

It's not perfect

Never was

Since the light shone on the world

It was hunger just because

And it's a circus with

Countless half-tamed predatory things

And I know that if I ever stop

Astonished I'm frozen

Barreling ahead at a hell of a time

Now I'm moving too fast to ever stop this ride

And it's racking my body while my mind's left behind

Ahead at a hell of a time

Too focused to pause and rewind

Folly is the friend of the willfully blind

Who need a crash to catch just one sight of all beside

No matter how I'm thinking

Fast or slow I'm sinking

Further from an answer to unwind

But if I'm not struck down

Or swept away

Stand up straight above the sound

Where the silence is ringing
