Balance Lost

Show me a short cut to save time
Everybody's leaving me alone at the start line
I can smell a scent as the wind blows
Something that remains even after you go

Salvation will not be brought to you by a blinding light in your darkest hour
Or force you to prostrate yourself before a needy and jealous will
It will not absolve you of the need to adapt with the passing of time
And that perfection is a gift you were given to squander

What did you see in the lamp light?
Some people understand and some people didn't try
Did you really think you're the end all?
Life still continues even after you fall

We will not expect you to perceive the largest black hole down to the tiniest electron
With senses developed for the purposes of hunting deer
Evolution will put you in the driver's seat
Until the technological singularity arrives and makes us all obsolete

When the gas is released
It lifts me off my feet
When the pinch starts to grip
That's when I know I'm losing it

I love the through composed nature of this song. I couldn’t get away with the speech commentary you do. It sounds great. Everybody knows all good narration has a British accent. The instrumentation is clever and beautiful and very original. I love all of the counter melodies. If it reminds me of anything it’s Sleepwalking, just a similar twee vibe to it. Very cool song! Love it!
