Take Your Time
The Pale White Lyrics

I have serious comedian syndrome
I have a feeling of being a comedian all the time.

I float wherever the laughter blows
I roam around with the flow of jokes and humor.

'Til I'm the brunt of the joke
I become the center of attention for humiliation and jokes.

What day is it?
I am lost in time and not sure about the current date.

I could've sworn it was yesterday
I thought the previous day was today.

There's not enough hours in the week
The time is not enough even for a week to meet my demands.

To keep the wolf from the door
To have enough food and shelter so as not to starve or become homeless.

I guess this could be the last time
This occasion might be the last time for me.

That our retinas taste the sunshine
That we see and experience the brightness of the sun.

That our feet still touch the ground
That we remain grounded and don't get carried away.

So take your time
Take things slow and enjoy the moment.

Each day I cook my food in the microwave
I lead a life relying on quick and easy solutions.

And watch the sand trickle through the hourglass
I stare at the clock doing nothing meaningful with my time.

Fingers on the pulse
Being aware of the present and alert for any changes that may happen.

There's no sign of life
It seems like there's no excitement and joy in life.

It's the way it is
This is how life is and we can't change it.

We just get caught up in the mundane
We are too focused on routine and the ordinary aspects of life.

If looks can kill, hindsight is to blame
If I'm in trouble now, it's only because of my past decisions.

As it looks me up and down
As if something is evaluating my existence.

Oh, I'm sick of hearing
I am tired of listening to the same things over and over again.

The grass could be greener on the other side
Other people's lives could be better than mine.

Things could be cleaner
The world could be a better place if it was more hygienic and sanitized.

There's rats under the shed
Even with its faults, life is worth living and full of surprises.

But we're alive
We should be grateful for being alive.

It's a good life
Life, despite its challenges, is still a good experience.

Because this could be the last time
This experience or moment might not happen again.

That you talk over the punch line
You may miss the best part of the joke.

There's a toaster in the bathroom
There's something out of place, out of context, in my surroundings.

Think I hear the smoke alarm
There's something that might go wrong or is already going wrong.

So take your time
Make the most out of your time and enjoy it.
