[Verse 1: Diesel Clockwork]
Spent the whole day distracting myself
Sometimes the world is too much
This ain’t a cry for some for help
Sometimes I need to get away
Sometimes I need a day
Sometimes I need a place to go and get my mind straight
Done with being anxious bout' the fucking future
Done with living life like I’m stuck in the past
Shift my focus towards the things in my control
These the type of lessons that you learn as you get old
Sick of seeing people, at the shows, sucked into their phone
Can’t evade the wave of camera flashing, filming videos
Should’ve stayed at home, TikTok dances all alone
In the 90s was the time to go, guess I missed the boat
I’m not naive, I recognize the convenience
But we took it to a level that resembles a fetus
Gen A, plagued by brain rot, its a mean disease
Present people, they’re the last of a dying breed
[Bridge: Diesel Clockwork]
When’s the last time you gave yourself a break?
When’s the last time you took her on a date?
When’s the last time you danced in the rain?
When’s the last time you had a great day?
[Chorus: Diesel Clockwork]
Be here now
Don’t look down
Make me proud
Swim don’t drown
Here and now
Feel the ground
Touch the clouds
Free from bounds
[Verse 2: Diesel Clockwork]
Whatever happened to the, pursuit of, the present?
No worries, matata, hakuna, in awe of my presence
Tell me, if you knew your death, would you try to stop it?
The time to make your choice is now, you’re running out of options
Bright lights, exchange your bed for a casket
You live your life in fear but do your best to mask it
Constant competition with the clock, got me stressed
If they don’t see my talents on the east I’m headed west
Yeah, what if nobody sees?
What if, what if everything was made to delete?
Yeah, what has happened to me?
I was living so fast, almost forgot how to breathe
You fill your space up with expensive things
I just, collect and relish, all my memories
You go, invest your time in something make believe
I just, hope that all that brings a sense of peace
[Bridge: Diesel Clockwork]
When’s the last time you gave yourself a break?
When’s the last time you took her on a date?
When’s the last time you danced in the rain?
When’s the last time you had a great day?
[Chorus: Diesel Clockwork]
Be here now
Don’t look down
Make me proud
Swim don’t drown
Here and now
Feel the ground
Touch the clouds
Free from bounds
