Slow Motion

I'm tied to the wheel The road curves ahead Well I missed my turn I'll take the next one instead I'm losing in stride And tired at best But I played my cards Too close to the chest You feel yourself falling The future is stalling And paused at a bad time Well I learned a lesson I'm never forgetting I didn't realize It feels like my head is spinning And draining into the ocean And this is a new beginning I feel all of my pain in slow motion The timing is bad The feelings are worse But you can pretend That this doesn't hurt And you chose your path Right into a wall So hollow it seems No victory at all I said I'd keep trying I might have been lying I barely remember now Well it wasn't worth it Uselessly hurting Perpetually lost til now When everyone knows the secret And you haven't got a notion Someday I will learn the meaning Digesting the truth in slow motion
