I'm taking the steps, I'm taking the steps but still so far a-way-/ yeah
I'm making a mess, Oh
I'm making a mess of all that sur-rounds-/ me
Starting with the friends that I don't tell e-nough-/
And the strangers I tell f-f-f-far too much--/
Priorities aren't in line and I'm wasting time
Bang my head against the wall 'til I'm satisfied
And the formulas been known for a millennia
Written in stone
Guess the memo got lost in all the hysteria
I'll never know...
How to fit into the mold
How to go from bronze to gold
I'll never know-/
Maybe the key to be happy is productivity
(Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-/)
Maybe it's a competition
And maybe I don't deserve validation
Starting with the friends that don't want me a-round-/
And the strangers I keep bring bring bring bringing down down down
Priorities aren't in line and I'm wasting time
Bang my head against the wall 'til I'm satisfied
And the race of rats will never reach a finish line
Ever so close
Shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll fall to your demise
I'll never know...
How to fit into the mold
How to go from bronze to gold
I'll never know-/
With every step I run out of breath
Out of my head, I'm seeing red red red
With every step I don't know what's next
Can't comprehend the hands around my neck
And the formulas been known for a millennia
Written in stone
Guess the memo got lost in all the hysteria
I'll never know...
How to fit into the mold
How to go from bronze to gold
I'll never know-/
With every step I run out of breath
Out of my head, I'm seeing red red red
With every step I don't know what's next
Can't comprehend the hands around my neck
