Everyone Needs a Hasting

Put a notch on this belt when I leave a toll is taken
My head is traveling way too fast
I gotta slow down for the sake of overlooking
The silent rituals need to be caressed
Let me stay here and hide my eyes from the bitter world
Lord knows I'm not ready to shine
Let me stay here and save my breath for the coming flood
The clock's tickin', wearing out the time

So obsess a little, it's coming fast
You better hope that you're ready
So obsess a little, cause when it's passed
I plan to be left standing

Let me at the cruel outside
Chances are turnin' over
The vessel is on it's way
My wrist won't talk, I know I've tried

Let the movement take you by the heart
The closer I get, the louder the lifeline
Let the movement take you by the heart
The closer I get, the calmer inside
