[Verse 1]
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 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
My independence is turning the page
Tomorrow comes, we start to fade
My independence only complicates
It's not enough to meet halfway
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
I only keep what I give away
I only keep what I give away

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Why do I rush to slow down?
Why do I rush to slow down everything?
Why do I rush to slow down?
