Lyrics
Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibriam
Count down from nine to five
Hooray, we're gonna die
Blessed into our extinction
Always move forward
Going straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
Always move forward
Going straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
In nowhere
In nowhere
