Safety Belt

Mayday, mayday My mind can't believe this was happening I have no words to say I heard something tail spinning and crashing It was my debauched life The sand in the hour glass was going way too fast They both begin with s…stress and strife I wish I could change the past Trying to get off this freight train Friends and enemies are lost in the speed Slowing down, the only feat to be abstained In this fast lane, on our cell phones that’s why no one pays heed I have to slow down its going to take more than a second And I hope that I make it because I don't care for competition Sorry to say but there's no stop button You'll never lose your way if you follow your intuition If only I could just rewind Forming an unbreakable cycle Now I’m taking it one day at a time So for this alluring ride, I need to buckle
