Kinetic

from EP by Grip-Like Vice

/

lyrics

She’s kinetic in a curious way,
Almost like regular folk,
But one big detail has changed,

She walks in a curious way,
Instead of one foot in front of the other,
Its one foot behind the last,
Could it be that she’s stuck in the past,

Everybody’s obsessed with moving on,
Everybody forgets where they came from,

She’s afraid of what the future holds,
The clock is spinning and the hour glass,
Counts against her memories,
Of the things she could have grown up to be,

Everybody’s obsessed with moving on,
Everybody forgets where they came from,
Everybody’s just flaunting with their time,
Nobody cares for the folks that they left behind,

“Backwards is the new forwards.” So she says
But I don’t think she’s so convinced
“Backwards is the new forwards.” She says it’s true,
Cause she don’t wanna race to the finish line,
To find that she’s forgotten and her names not spoken,
A friend got famous and a little piece of her died,

Everybody’s obsessed with moving on,
Everybody forgets where they came from,
Everybody’s just flaunting with their time,
Nobody cares for the folks that they left behind,

Everybody’s obsessed with moving on,
Which makes it sound like I’m the bitter one,
And if can’t make it and why should anyone,
I wanna be famous by hoping everyone’s worse,
