Hyperventilating

Here is an original song I composed and recorded recently about how fast we move through life, rarely stopping for needed rest. It is also about how we set ourselves up for habitual struggles or sins. It's called "Hyperventilating." I would appreciate any comments: encouragement or constructive criticism in both the music and recording realm.

Lyrics:

We’re all hyperventilating through this life

Yet we’re still surprised when it comes to an end

Wondering what road the next step will take us on

Forgetting to take in the beauty with us all along

It’s both the destination and the journey

We can’t leave one or the other behind

Or else we’re walking half-in, half-out of life

And we’ll never understand with our heels to the grind

So grind these dusty bones

Into this red clay dirt

Gotta rest, gotta catch my breath

Else I’m gonna be caught by the throat

Resist, resist these thoughts

Habitual lend-me-downs

Recycling lifestyles for myself

Trading hard-earned smiles for the frowns

I’ve tasted and I’ve seen

What honesty really means

It might hurt less to lie

Or you might lie more and die

Is it worth it to compromise

I chain my freedom inside

Lying, lying to myself

In this fast-paced world gone too far south

Fear, it’s time to let you go

This world is too far gone for anyone

Without divine intervention

To halt the death-cry gong

Yet I know

Yes I know

And I’ll thrive in what I know

 That Love has already won
