Forever need not ever be seen slain
.
Stay the pace
.
Stay the pace
Keep the faith
Lead with grace
And seize the day
For this is the ideal terrain
To play
To beat the rush
And lean on trust
To keep you on your feet
As much ado renews the need defeat to slay
.
Stay the pace

To play
To beat the rush
And lean on trust
To keep you on your feet
As much ado renews the need defeat to slay
.
Life can get away
Bereft of better days to dream
And it’s obscene how keen we seem to be seen swayed
(Stay the pace)
Needles in our spleens
Pierce fearsome screams
Of needless pain
When we need never be defeated
In this way
(Stay the pace)
Thirsting for our hurts to be deferred
We yearn release
Thereby we cease to be alert
To turns of fate
(Stay the pace)
Patiently awaiting
A vacation from the sting
And here’s the thing
Syringes pinch
It’s just their way
(Stay the pace)
Giving inches inches us towards the extra mile
While we kick back with a martini and a smile
(Stay the pace)
Life can be real needy
When the lamp reveals no genie
And it’s no mean feat to quit
When test driving a Lamborghini
Maybe we’ve seen more than we had bargained for
Left precious little margin for a pardon
As capillaries have hardened
While our hearts
Packed tight in glass
Appear fit only for the lowly shelves of bargain stores
Less we dare to tread the path towards less charted course
(Stay the pace)
.

Stay the pace
Keep the faith
Lead with grace
And seize the day
For this is the ideal terrain
To fame
Takes some faith
To bleed with haste
When others need to feed
Yet there is nothing to concede
When seeding veins
To beat the rush
And gush with pride
To trust in love so dignified
Forever need not ever be seen slain
(Set the pace)
(Pace)
.
To no end
Relentless in its plea to wean the senses
On the feelings unpretentiously displayed
(Set the pace)
(Pace)
Essentially conveyed by way of kiss
Our lips are wishes yet to make
When we see fit to lift the veil
(Set the pace)
(Pace)
Life can get away
Bereft of better days to dream
But is serene when keen to be seen keeping pace
(Set the pace)
(Pace)
Showing all the mettle of a bed of brazen nettles
As the vessel
Sails great seas to seize the day
(Seize the day)
Hustling the limits
As we muscle in on cynics
To diminish the specifics they betray
(Seize the day)
Trailing petals
Pedal grazing metal
Asphalt burning
Swerving blackout
As dust settles in our wake
(Set the pace)
(Pace)
