Slow motion the world just keeps spinning on and on

I just walked down the street, to get something to eat
Kicked off my shoes and sprawled out, watching tv on the couch
Observing those dumb game shows, we all know how those go
So I don't really bother, I just make up some answer

And then came the headrush, my face all hot and flushed
I put a towel on my head, took pills and curled up in bed
I try to fall asleep quick, but thoughts of you make me sick
The fever starts to win, pulls me in and now I'm thinking weird again

In your teens, you're so smug, think you've heard it all before
So ashamed, in your twenties you realize there's so much more
Now you finally get it, in your thirties you're alright
On and on it goes and goes, it's the great circle of life

Suddenly it's so hot, and I've got to change my pajama top
I gaze at the time and it's almost 12 o'clock
Lookin' down it seems we're just a minute in the song
Oh and by the way, when was the day you were born

Slow motion, from the cradle to the grave
Your condition casually drives you insane
Waiting patiently for true love to sweep you right off your feet
Or just for someone to look at you, at least

Communication, it's not really all that simple
Audition, try and make a good impression
You're not the only one living life unsatisfied
So try and find some comfort in that for now, I'm sure it'll be alright

Changing the little things to match up with their needs
Going beyond and above so that maybe you'll be loved
The future blurs the past, it all happens so fast
It's really quite disgusting, in the end it means nothing

I cough myself awake and find something to take
Swallow the pill and then sigh, more thoughts invading my mind
This really isn't my day so all I can do is pray
But then a sneeze is blown and I'm thrown, I guess I'm really on my own

Yesterday there was me who pushed all worries to the side
And when times got hard I made it through and didn't even cry
Time's gone by and my smile's faded out into a frown
Guess I'm right on track for being an old lady in this town

Switching out the damp towels gazing up at the clock with a slight scowl
Is it seriously 2 something right now
Looking down it seems we're just about two minutes in the song
Oh and hey do you know when you're going to die

Graduation, finally you'll get some sweet recognition
For all of the hate you kept in
Well that's what I would like to tell you if you asked about it
But I did things that I don't care to admit

Imagination, you're lucky if you still have one
Religion, a bunch of blind preconcieved notions
And in the end even if you try to go out in style
Haters gonna hate so try and smile

Cuz that's just the way it is
Just writhing and writhing, I'm really really trying
I'm stuck, out of luck, everything that I once knew is fading
Even though I'm sitting here pondering in self reflection

Achoo, achoo, this sneezing makes me look pretty dumb
Sniff sniff, sniff sniff, I'm so freaking tired of this
Still waiting for this stupid flu to pass

Slow motion, morning comes, my fever falls
This condition melts away with the clear blue skies
Thinking back on everything that I said when I was in bed
It makes me wonder if I'd rather be dead

Slow motion, even idols can't escape it
In the end, they are buried deep in some pit
The beginning and the end of the circle are in sync
It's such a beautiful thing, don't you think

Combination, you want to meet special person the question
Is how do you know that they're the one
You're not the only one living life unsatisfied
You're sure to make a lot of mistakes
Used up until all that's left is fake
That's just the way things are, you won't get a break
I'm sure you'll be alright though, maybe

Slow motion, slow motion, slow motion
The world just keeps spinning then you're dead
