Autonomy Heartless Bastards

You can always tell 'cause you know me well
When my pupil goes wide, I'm under cast and spell
I paint a picture for miles and hang it on the wall
So if my memory fades, I still can recall

Oh a sharp turn can change everything
And energy flows in every direction
And some days, I wish I had some white-out
And I find there's never enough time
Energy flows in every direction
And some day I hope to figure it out
Too busy lookin' forward to be in the now

I try to slow down the pace, but I don't know how
Sittin' idle for hours, [?] in the day
Consumed by my thoughts of you in another place

Oh a sharp turn can change everything
And energy flows in every direction
And some days, I wish I had some white-out
Then I find there's never enough time
Energy flows in every direction
And some day I hope to figure it out
Too busy lookin' forward to be in the now

Someday I'd like to play a part in my life
I've waited to start
I bet I could live it well
If I take deep breaths and exhale
So little time, what am I to do?
I want my cake and I want to taste it too
Is that really so much to ask for?
