Tomorrow’s Ahead of Me

[Intro: Ticking percussion, accelerating synth] Faster, faster Again, again [Verse 1] Monday I learned a language Tuesday it changed its name Wednesday I taught the lesson Thursday it changed again Friday I built a future Saturday proved it old Sunday I counted the things I still didn’t know [Pre-Chorus: Rising polyrhythm] I love the evolution I dread the acceleration Every new discovery Becomes an obligation [Chorus: Soaring, melodic syncopation] I’m ahead of yesterday But tomorrow’s ahead of me Every time I understand There’s another thing to be Keep up, catch up The intervals are shrinking I love the world becoming But it never stops becoming [Verse 2] Every breakthrough gets me excited Every breakthrough makes me tense Every skill I spent years earning Has a shorter relevance I want to taste the future I want to understand it all But the more I learn to climb The faster mountains grow [Bridge: Glitch percussion accelerates] A year became a month A month became a week A week became a day A day became a blink (Think!) (Learn!) (Change!) (Repeat!) [Final Chorus: Explosive harmonies] I’m ahead of yesterday But tomorrow’s ahead of me I’m addicted to discovery And exhausted by the speed Keep up, catch up Can I ever just exist? The things that make me feel alive Are the things that won’t let me rest [Outro: Everything decelerates] Maybe I don’t need to know Everything Before everyone Every time [One final ticking sound]
