No Time

Clock on the wall keeps laughing at me,

Hands don’t move but the hours bleed.

I swear I had a plan once, maybe two,

Now I’m stuck in a room with nothing to prove.

Days blur out like smoke in the rain,

Same old thoughts, same quiet pain.

I keep saying “tomorrow I’ll change my mind,”

But tomorrow keeps passing me by.

Every dream I had is calling my name,

But I mute the sound and I shoulder the blame.

I’ve been wasting time, watching life go by,

Watching all my chances wave me goodbye.

I’m standing still while the world’s in motion,

Drowning slow in a shallow ocean.

I keep saying I’ll be fine,

But I’m just wasting time.

Phone lights up but I don’t reply,

Too tired to live, too scared to die.

I wear my regrets like second skin,

Smile outside, but I’m paper-thin.

Everyone’s running, I’m stuck in place,

Counting the cracks in a familiar face.

I tell myself I’m “finding my way,”

But I’ve been lost since yesterday.

Every door I pass feels locked inside,

I’m my own excuse, my own alibi.

I’ve been wasting time, watching life go by,

Watching all my chances wave me goodbye.

I’m standing still while the world’s in motion,

Drowning slow in a shallow ocean ahhhhh

I keep saying I’ll be fine,

But I’m just wasting time.

Maybe one day I’ll break the chain,

Stop blaming luck, stop feeding the pain.

If I fall, at least I’ll fall alive,

Not just breathing — but trying to survive.

I’m done wasting time, watching life go by,

I’m tired of watching my future die.

If I burn, let it be in the light,

Not fading out in another night.

I don’t know how, I don’t know why,

But I’m done wasting time.
