Needed A Change Of Pace

(album: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH - 2021)

I'm so glad I woke up today
A different life in a brand new place
I think I maybe outgrew the last
I needed a change of pace
No more talk of what my burdens say
They've been left behind, and that's where they will stay
Fled the scene, nimble, my hands kept clean
I needed a change of pace
Needed a change of pace

Oh, how could you love me so?
Oh, with all I've done and the things you know?
My dearest, you better never forgive me
'Cause if you forget what I've done, I'll do it again

I died that night and killed God in the morning
Left without a warning or even informing the coroner
I was a foreigner
Never belonged in that place, played along in that place
Till I had enough of the games
I couldn't find the time from the afterlife
To apologize or even say goodbye

Oh, how could you love me so?
Oh, with all I've done and the things you know?
My dearest, you better never forgive me
'Cause if you forget what I've done, I'll do it again

(Needed a change of pace) I've come to realize
(Gone without a trace) I'd rather flee than fight
(Needed a change of pace) To fake your death is
(Gone without a trace) The most honest life
(Needed a change of pace, gone without a trace)
All it takes is an agile step and the vigilance to
(Needed a change of pace, gone without a trace)
Spot that blink of an eye

Oh, how could you love me so?
Oh, with all I've done and the things you know?
But still, you plead with me, baby, I guarantee
You're better off if you let me go
'Cause even eye to eye, I'm not afraid to lie
A curse and a kiss goodbye

My whole life all I wanted was a change of pace
(And scene)
