Mindlessly

I just need a break, I need to get away and find myself some peace
 These times are passing by faster than I can comprehend, I need to breathe.
 I am scrolling through my newsfeed, that deceives me til I scream
 I am blind, I don't know my deepest need
 I say I haven't time, but I've the time to mess around
 And life goes by so fast and oh so mindlessly
 It was only yesterday that I was 18 and I was out to change the world
 Every campaign I would sign and I'd be on the picket line, as if I knew it all
 Suddenly I'm thirty and I've drifted by so unconsciously
 When I was younger I pondered every reason why
 But now I shrug my shoulder and I toe the party line
 What happened to the hunger to fight equality
 Life goes by so fast and oh so mindlessly
 I've met so many people here this week, who are dying, dying to be free
 Doctors going sick and therapists needing therapy
 The planet's spinning faster than we can ever take
 We push it to its limits until the climate breaks
 Wake me up, oh wake me, oh how we let it be
 That life goes by so fast, and oh so mindlessly
