Colliding With Mars - 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

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 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 well, okay
I’ve got pressure stacking up on every side
Well, okay i’ve been forced persuasion I
Guess I’ll say goodbye

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 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
