lyrics

Spread thin like dough beneath the rolling pin, she feels the pressure of adulthood start to stretch her. She's just trying to keep it together. She can't regather, feels those hunger hands so greedily kneading at her. One, now two, now three, now four. How many more can she feed? She wonders, "Is there a recipe that in the end will set me free? So tell me, is there a finish line that justifies these trying times?" Worn down like the junkyard cars outside of town, he feels the pacing of the race start to escape him. He knows that the finish awaits him. He's feeling trapped by all the passing traffic speeding by as he gets lapped. One, now two, now three, now four. Can he last? He watches as the future leaves him in the past. He wonders, "Is there a finish line that justifies these trying times? (So tell me) Is there a recipe that in the end will set me free? They can't say when, but it's coming nonetheless. Better or worse, they're praying for the best. And if this was all just a test, what score do they need to pass? There's no one to ask.
