Heartless Bastards – Autonomy lyrics

You can always tell 'cause you know me well
When my pupil goes wide I'm under cast and spell
I paint a picture for miles
And hang it on the wall

So if my memory fades I can still recall
Oh a sharp turn can change everything
And energy flows in every direction
And some days I wish I had some white-out
And (?) there's never enough time
Energy flows in every direction
And some day I hope to figure it out
Too busy lookin' forward to be in the now

I try to slow down the pace
But I don't know how
Sittin' idle for hours (?) in the days
Consumed by my thoughts of you
In another place

Oh a sharp turn can change everything
And energy flows in every direction
And some days I wish I had some white-out
And (?) there's never enough time
Energy flows in every direction
And some day I hope to figure it out
Too busy lookin' forward to be in the now


Someday I'd like to play a part in my life
I've waited to start
I bet I could live it well
If I take deep breaths and exhale

So little time what am I to do?
I want my cake and I wanta' taste it too
Is that really so much to ask for?

You got your head up into the clouds
You wanta' live in glorious autonomy
Oh, that's what it really comes down to

An I got my head up into the clouds
I wanta' live in glorious autonomy
Oh, that's what it really comes down to

(Repeat verses 5 & 6)
