This Wait

Time

Does not pass

I feel so lost and alone

Sometimes

Hours

Don't count

I feel dead when alive

It's so sad

I've always dread it

Now I regret it so

I know I'm ready

But everything moves so slow

Stuck in the meantime

It all looks so perverse

This is not real life

Everything's in reverse

This wait

The minutes, the hours can't fall into place

No gain

No fire, no desire to come out again

And I wait

For someone with power to decide my fate

Months

Still-time

No way out of this ride

It don't count

Heartbeats

In arrest

Can't get out or walk out

Disgrace

I've always dread it

Now I regret it so

I know I'm ready

But everything moves so slow

Stuck in the meantime

It all looks so perverse

This is not real life

Everything's in reverse

This wait

The minutes, the hours can't fall into place

No gain

No fire, no desire to come out again

And I wait

For someone with power to decide my fate
