From the first cry of a babe
'Til  the age of 25
I  searched my soul to find myself
But I'm still unrecognized

One-way streets, walls of concrete
Two  restless feet's all I've got
Oh  Lord, I'm so afraid
While a third of my life's been shot

And  I get out of breath
Watchin' the world spin so fast
My future becomes my past
My mind gets hung so bad
That  I get out of breath

It's alright for the successful
To tell you "Take your time
Have patience, understanding"
While the suicide rate climbs

I work all day to try and pay back
Debts which won't go down
I can't say that I'm lost
I just ain't been found

And I get out of breath
Watchin' the world spin so fast
My future becomes my past
My mind gets hung so bad
That I get out of breath

People spend more time
Askin' forgiveness than bein' good
Everyone's out stealin'
Or home plannin' how they could

Double standards make good band-aids
That strip us of our pride
Our moral have decayed, yeah
And this I can't abide

And I get out of breath
Watchin' the world spin so fast
My future becomes my past
My life gets hung so bad
That I get out of breath

Alright
