Making Progress Lyrics

it goes like this...
(something like this)
there are moments of joy
they're interspersed
with something else that i call
constantly searching for escape
please don't - please don't try to stop things
from progressing
don't you ever try to stop things
from progressing
but i need things to slow down

it's getting fast
so very fast - but not fast enough
it takes progressively more energy
to yield the same small reward

i'm running fast
i'm standing still
i think i'm making progress
but i need things to slow down...
