Slow Motion Roadrunner Lyrics by The Second After

Treadmill at the Finish Line

2018

From the start
I worked hard
And was tied down by the tension
The glue within the middle ground
The quake to shake the wrinkles out
From my perspective
I don’t see it anymore
(Anymore)
With every step I feel I’m wasting time
It’s like a treadmill at the finish line
The spark that lights the darkness in my life
Became a shallow sight and I
Might be that knock on your door
Whichever way it goes
I hope I’m a footprint in your mind
Kicking out every woe
Made of the contracts which you’ve signed
Trace me now
Phase me out
Put me down
But you can’t replace what’s right
So I’ve
Planted bombs and now they’re tick ticking away
In my head is where I’ve built them up
And that is where they’ll stay
I know it’s wrong
But that’s just what you do to me
You make monsters out of everything
That looks to be
Is turning to
A happy ending
(That’s just what you do)
Whoever takes control
Won’t seem any different than what dies
Before it is too late
Is not an option to decide
I’ve been traced now
Long since phased out
Never put down
Is this the end now?
With every step I feel I’m wasting time
I know I’ve lost my mind
Would you come help me find it again?
The spark that lights the darkness in my life
Has taken lead and shined
An illusion leaving everyone blind
(Trace me now, phase me out, put me down, is this the end now?)
