Tyron Mott - Motions

Mmm with so many in motion
And yet few go anywhere
We’re trapped by this thing
Yeah we all know it’s there
So, the only question is...
Is this really living
Or going through the motions
Passion on the backburner
Sterilized emotions
Do you do what you want, or what you need to
It’s hard to tell the difference, huh
The motion’s got you
I don’t wanna waste my time (The motion’s got you, no)
(The motion’s got you)
(The motion’s got you)
Stop waiting on a time to shine (The motion’s got you)
Tell me why you going through
The motion’s got you
Never felt so stuck before
I’m lost at the moment, whoa
Every day it’s the same old thing
Fallin’ on familiar motions, I know
Reaching for a moment to seize
Yet they escape me
As I struggle to stay afloat the sea of responsibility
The corporate ladder’s looking mighty tall
But will it take me higher
Or be a hellish distraction
From the internal dying fire
Use it or lose it is what my muse says
I try to listen
But the devil on my left shoulder is clouding my vision
With fictitious images of
Status and wealth and gold
Telling me this could all be mine
For the small price of
My soul
Is this really living
Or going through the motions
Passion on the backburner
Sterilized emotions
Do you do what you want, or what you need to
It’s hard to tell the difference, huh
The motion’s got you
I don’t wanna waste my time (The motion’s got you, no)
(The motion’s got you)
(The motion’s got you)
Stop waiting on a time to shine (The motion’s got you)
Tell me why you going through
The motion’s got you
What to do
Trying to make these ends meet
Wake, dress, work, eat, sleep
Even these dreams ain’t free
Is anybody rowing
Against the waves, ocean
As the masses overdose on going through the motions
Busy little worker bees
Buzzing for the queen’s knees
Stuck in the hive mind
No trace of personality (Whoa)
Just trying to dream first
Don’t wanna eat last
Motions catching up from my past, yeah
So we stay on the treadmill
Thinking we’ll soon arrive
Specious destination, a feast of comfy lies
So is this really living
Or going through the motions
Stew on that for a while and decide
With your eyes wide open
Cuz I don’t wanna waste my time (The motion’s got you )
(The motion’s got you)
(The motion’s got you)
Stop waiting on a time to shine (The motion’s got you)
The motion’s got you
