Atmosphere - Stopwatch lyrics
[Atmosphere - Stopwatch lyrics]
Yes, and I guess
It's just a sign that I'm a pessimist
But life is limited if time
Is how you measure it nobody's innocent
Let's quit pretending such
Just let it finish up so
This message can self-destruct
And I don't know my high from low anymore
I'm just trying to do my best
Trying not to get carried off the floor
Climb down the fire escape and throw
The mask in the trash
We drowning in a tidal wave
From a bath tub splash
And when they finally try to harvest a colony
It's probably when everybody is
Around an olive tree
It's likely gonna be too late
To crown a hero but we can make a statement
Making party at Ground Zero
And I can do this to ya all night long
But I, no matter what
I'd still be doing ya wrong
And when I'm strong enough to
Break out of my eggshell
I wanna hear the ladies yell
Like I've aged well
We fought ourselves we think we won
We taught ourselves to reach the sun
Took a chance going against the odds
We don't die, we won't even stop, watch
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
And now I
Now I believe I've got the right of way
To make a brighter day
Instead of wasting life away
Waiting for lights to change
You not seeing me
I'm swallowed by the scenery
Camouflage my injuries
Channel all my energies
I leave room for the lens to shift
Should've predicted or presumed that
You'd be sensitive
But every story needs a conflict, and ours is
I can't find a fuck to present you with
And baby it's the same song
Whole world singing it
Some of us just humming along some
Of us really bringin' it
And if it fires up a
Fraction of the sleeping giant
May we live long enough to see
The times that redefine it
And I'm certain all that pain
Is for a purpose
Makes no difference who's the first one to
Write their name up on the surface
Some day your work will find
It's way to get observed
It's just there's too many words
And nobody's getting heard
We fought ourselves we think we won
We taught ourselves to reach the sun
Took a chance going against the odds
We don't die, we won't even stop, watch
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop then you won't get caught
If you don't stop
Just take me as I am
Just take me as I am (oh yeah)
Just take me as I am (oh yeah)
Just take me as I am (oh yeah)
Just take me as I am
It's just a sign that I'm a pessimist
But life is limited if time
Is how you measure it nobody's innocent
Let's quit pretending such
Just let it finish up so

And I don't know my high from low anymore
