Stop and Smell the Roses

Not to say were not fortunate to be born

to a world that encourages us to grow

but sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow

Hunger for a change of scenery

you drive North in search of snow

were you prepared for certain shadows

to follow you everywhere that you go

your body's been decaying all this time

and now it finally starts to show

and are you having second thoughts

about that path that you chose

Now that the fire in your eyes

has burned down like coals

to a warm consistent glow

well hey that smoke has cleared

you regained the use of your nose

So take take a second now

to stop and smell the roses

just like you never thought you had time

but always thought that you should

At least for now it okay to take life in smaller doses

Something new has come to town

seems like he's doing you good

And I've come to a new town

yeah sure it's somewhat the same

it feels good to be aware of

but still not focused on the cause behind that pain

And sometimes when the mood is right it feels

like every inch and nothings changed

but in some way that not for one second

has stayed the same

So you remember to eat dinner

remember to feel better

remember your friends

they'll think that you forgot them

if you only write secret letters

Remember not to focus on

those feelings that you lack

You just might give yourself a heart attack
