FABLED TORTOISE Lyrics

Cutting corners and trading places

With versions of myself I'm

Feeling misguided and out of place like all the damn time

Can't catch a break, constantly misplacing my own ego

Seconds late and steadily fading I'm losing control

Agitated with knowing I haven't done my best job

Furiously scraping together all of my thoughts god

I'm sorry to all the people I hurt during my lifetime

Mulling over details in my head like they were war crimes

The parts of me I hate they never really go away now

I'm subjugated to compensating within the background

I don't want my life to pass me by I'm only human

Every moment forward's being spent on self-improvement

Well, okay

I've got pressure stacking up on every side

Well, okay

I've been forced persuasion I guess I'll say goodbye

The parts of me I hate they never really go away now

I'm subjugated to compensating within the background

I don't want my life to pass me by I'm only human

Every moment forward's being spent on self-improvement

In a whirl

And I feel like nobody's on my side

In a world where I know that only pretty people

Get what they want when they want it

Pessimistic I can't stop it

Where's a superhero when you need one

All my friends are like the changing seasons

Feel the fading colors grow in time

Learn the art of letting go I have been feeling ill-advised

Well, okay

I've got pressure stacking up on every side

Well, okay

I've been forced persuasion I guess I'll say goodbye

The parts of me I hate they never really go away now

I'm subjugated to compensating within the background

I don't want my life to pass me by I'm only human

Every moment forward's being spent on self-improvement
