lyrics

Selfish

Slower than the world and out of scope.
Straining for the energy to cope.
Pedal through a day to justify.
Penance is the way that we survive.

It's not who you are. It's the way your health is.
It's not who you are when they say you're selfish.

Look who's throwing rocks outside a window,
Look who's in a back seat breaking down.
Living in a box, a chided limbo.
Promising the world you'll come around.

All connections severing.
Introspection's a funny thing.
Giving was a concept once embraced.
These little dreams will have to wait.

Look who's throwing rocks outside a window,
Look who's in a back seat breaking down.
Living in a box, a childhood limbo,
Promising yourself you'll come around.
But it's getting colder in this slipstream,
Harder to control a rising tide.
Tangled metaphors don't say what this means.
As if the conscience wasn't heavy enough.

As if the conscience wasn't heavy enough.
As if being conscious wasn't heavy enough.
