My independence is calling my name
A doubtful voice provides my faith
My independence only has a taste
An unsure choice I can't embrace
You'd have to carve me, 
Carve me from stone
Right to the bone or 
We'll end up alone
Playing the role 
Of someone in control
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Will the dice ever roll
When will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist 
Or will I still resist
I've been playing the part of a lost realist
My indepednce is turning the page
Tomorrow comes we start to fade
My independence only complicates
It's not enough to meet half way
You'll have to carve me 
Carve me from stone
Right to the bone 
Or we'll end up alone
Playing the role 
Of someone in control
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Will the dice ever roll
When will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist 
Or will I still resist
I've been playing the part of a lost realist
I only keep what I give away
I only keep what I give away
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down 
everything
With the dice ever roll
When will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist 
Or will I still resist 
I've been playing the part of a lost realist
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
