I worry, worry takes me over
Trying to meet expectations
I hurry, hurry is the fashion
Making no time for reflection
We spend so much time looking into
Mir rors without really seeing ourselves
We,are so removed from what matters
Inside of our shells
I worry, worry about others
Standards that I have to follow
I hurry, hurry is the reason
It’s all built up inside of my head
We spend so much time looking into
Mir rors without really seeing ourselves
We,are so removed from what matters
Inside of our shells
The pleasure fountain calms me down, it makes me feel alright
Amidst the busy city lights, it's such a pleasant sight
The rushing rushing rushing water, it settles me down
Amidst the busy city noise, it's such a pleasant sound
We spend so much time looking into
Mir rors without really seeing ourselves
We,are so removed from what matters
Inside of our shells
