Solace&Stillness

If time stood still For just one moment Would these seconds still keep ticking in my head Calloused hands Forgotten reason Empty time spent in my head is laid to rest I'm chasing something That's falling away My soul is worn from Keeping up with it Watch from above the sewer grate The rat races all alone The hunger for more accelerates Then burns out like tires on the road If time stood still For just one moment Would these seconds still keep ticking in my head Calloused hands Forgotten reason Empty time spent in my head is laid to rest We don't have the time to celebrate The next phase is just in turn Fire works in many different ways The flame inside can also burn All for nothing When your goal is plain in sight All for nothing The next one's already taken flight If time stood still For just one moment Would these seconds still keep ticking in my head Calloused hands Forgotten reason Empty time spent in my head is laid to rest Laid to rest Tell me Is this what they call progress Because it doesn't feel like it If time heals Why does patience feel like this What is it like to feel whole Useless bones Under useless skin Useless heart Oh breathe me in Wasted breath From this wasted opportunity Wasted love What have I become I won't collapse I'm running till my legs give out The needle moves But will it be enough All for Nothing If time stood still For just one moment Would these seconds still keep Ticking in my head Calloused hands Forgotten reason Empty time spent in my head is laid to rest If time stood still For just one moment Would these seconds still keep ticking in my head Calloused hands Forgotten reason Empty time spent in my head is laid to rest
