Ok, so here I am again to bother you with another lyric. My last post
got some rightful criticism concering rhyme schemes, so I've tried to
do this one a bit different.
It is another song altogether, of course.
Like before,I can't provide you with any music. Speeding up was chosen
as the hook/title because of an intensity shift in the chorus where
chords foreign to the key comes in.
Please let me know if my tree image is too corny, I have a feeling it
might be, though I like it for some odd reason.
Thanks for reading,
Carl
==========================================
Speeding up
Look at the tree, aiming so high
just like people try and try
it does what it can do to get a view
what if it could pull up its roots
and put on some walking boots
If life could change for trees what would it do
well I can change and I will make it new
Chorus
I can't live life half-heartedly and so I call the bluff
I'm pulling out of boredom and I'm speeding up
I'm sorry if you feel that you are left here in the rough
But I can't see the chains that keep you cuffed
I'm pulling out of this and speeding up
I'm speeding up
Looking around - life is too slow
and I don't seem to find the flow
I can't put up with things I don't believe
This world thinks it's got me checkmate
just a sec, I'll accelerate
there comes a time when everyone must leave
and search out for a place where they can breathe
