Loosen the noose
and grease the walls
the carpet smells like victory

Leave an impression
on my shaven cheek
magnet for dust and defeat

It's pulling stronger, I'm folding under

I'm running faster

Recoiling my safety hands
laughing at the life preservers

Directions left on automatic
leftovers of a manual disaster

What a disaster, I'm folding under

I'm running faster

Is this how you sedate me?
Is this where I give up?

I'm running faster and you're nursing me when I give in
I'm running faster, this is where I live my bluff
,
Is this how you sedate me?
Is this where I give up?
