I can't catch up
D C#
there's not enough time

we are so disconnected, discontented disappointed 'cause we lack connection

with each other and with the earth

ignorantly thinking this is how it works

people closing their mind, sewing their third eye shut

and it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
D C# F#m
it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
