Nate Kay - Chasing Myself Lyrics

I'm chasing myself
Trying to have a conversation
Regarding my wealth
If I were to lose all motivation

It's not going well
I'm too quick for my wits
So I just keep on
Running, running
With nowhere to go

It's harder to tell now
If I'm really above or I'm just going under
I'd like to proceed but my body stops me
Tells me to stay on the path

I can't say what will go down
It seems that we're burning ourselves to stay bright
The fire it has to run out
But my flame can't extinguish

I'm going under, yes I'm going under
Please make it stop, the pollution and the cops
I can't take all the hate and the grief
And the names we call others, our sisters and brothers

What will we do if the hand really comes down?
Divided by choice in our pushed away voices
We're on the way out, yes I see it now
There's an open road that no one will go down

I'm scared for my health
Because of all this contamination
It's all that they sell
They've got a lot of determination

It's not going well
We just keep telling ourselves to keep on
Running, running
As if there's somewhere to go

It's easy to see now
That we have no say in the corporate ways
They want to proceed so they do it with ease
Without a care for the world

I can't say what will go down
It seems that we're burning ourselves to stay bright
The fire it has to run out
But my flame can't extinguish

We're all going under, we're all going under
Please make it stop, there's no water for the crops
I can't see past ignorant bliss
Their criminal ways have all amounted to this

The air that we breathe and the compassion that we need
The blood that I bleed, you're not so different from me
We're all suffering the consequence of business
Isn't this what the books are all about?

A grey landscape that we can't live without?
Manufactured lies come from all the suits and ties
People who are so very clearly evil but
Talk about this and you're quickly dismissed

It's all just a theory cause boy if that came out
Well then I'd be pretty leary well I'm telling you to hear me
Our time is running out, we're in the midst of a drought
And the ice is melting down, I'm afraid for us now

Chase your dreams while you still can
Embrace your friends while they're still there
Our way of life is fading so fast
I don't know how long I'll last
