My independence is calling my name
doubtful voice divides my faith
My independence only hesitates
An unsure choice I can't embrace
You're gonna have to carve me,
Carve me from stone
Right to the bone or
I'll end up alone
Playing the role
Of someone in control

Why do [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] to slow down everything
Why do [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] 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
 [bad word] we start to fade
My independence [bad word] 
It's not enough to meet half way

You'll have to carve me
Carve me from stone
Right to the bone
Or I'll end up alone
Playing the role
Of someone in control

Why do [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] to slow down everything
Why do [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] 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 [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] to slow down everything
Why do [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] 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

Why do [bad word] to slow down
Why do [bad word] to slow down everything
Why do [bad word] to slow down
