I sit here frozen in time, but time has not frozen
Everything speeds past me, no one's waiting
For me to get a grip and start running
I just need a second, I keep telling myself
But honey, it's been months and the second hasn't passed

The world spins faster and faster around me,
My goals and dreams flying farther and farther out of reach
Why don't I run and go catch them?
I could if I tried, couldn't I?
But apparently trying is beyond my abilities,
'Cause I'm still sitting here,
Frozen in time

I'm still waiting for that second to pass,
But it seems that now there's no escape
No escape from this bubble I've trapped myself in,
This bubble that defies time and shields me from making any use of it
Giving up seems to be becoming a better option for me
Because at this point, what's the use of trying to try?
