My independence is calling my name
A doubtful voice divides my faith
My independence only hesitates
An unsure choice I can't embrace
You're going to 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 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
Will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist 
Or will I still resist
I'm 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're going to 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 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
Will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist 
Or will I still resist
I'm 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
Will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist 
Or will I still resist 
I'm 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
