Counting the Paces Lyrics

Help me
Everything feels like a sham
I don't know who the hell I am
And no one can tell I'm alone
Help me
I feel like I'm covered in sand
I've got to get out of this mood
I don't have a vine I can hold on to.
It's like every time I defeat myself
Into the ring now I'm choosing the weapon
No, no, no, don't shoot

Help me
Everything's crumbling down
I feel like a bug on the ground
So stepped on by accident
Stuck on you
Please whatever I said I don't mean it
This is my worst now you've seen it
Calmly just put down the shoe
It's like every time I defeat myself
Into the ring now I'm counting the paces
No, no, no, don't shoot

Can't we just be free?

I wish I could take more time to savor
Thoughts
And reflect
But it all is
Flowers outside of the bullet train
Here comes
One of those tunnels again
Where nobody could see it coming
Caught by surprise and you
Hold
Your
Breath
It's like every time I defeat myself
Into the ring now I'm counting the paces
No, no, no, don't shoot
