Clock work

Intro

Yeah Just need a second to breathe

Just hold on

Yeah

Verse 1

Just stop the time I need help I just want to rewind

Back when I had peace of mind can we just slow down time

I can't even find my next rhyme we're speeding through every verse

About to end up in a hearse why do I always feel the worst

Look at the clock on the wall it’s spinning out of control

I’m trying to grip the wheel but I can’t even feel my soul

The calendar pages turning like a leaf in the wind

Fighting a losing battle that I didn't even begin

Every second is heavy every minute is fast

I’m staring into the future while I long for the past

They tell me keep up the pace they tell me run for the prize

But you can see the exhaustion when you look in my eyes

Yeah the pressure is mounting it’s a weight on my chest

I’m running out of momentum I just need a rest

Pre-Chorus

Before the countdown hits zero before the lights go black

I’m reaching out for the brake I gotta pull it all back

'Cause the world keeps spinning even if I freeze

They will replace you before the next breeze even if you're on your knees

Chorus

Can we just slow it down Just pause for a minute

The world is moving too fast and I am lost within it

Give me a second to breathe give me a moment of peace

I need ticking to stop I need pressure to cease

Don't let the clock run out don't let the fire go cold

I’m trying to save my soul before my story is untold

Verse 2

Another morning arrives before I even could sleep

I got promises that I’m breaking secrets I can’t keep

They want a piece of my time they want a piece of my mind

But if I give it away there's nothing left to unwind

I used to look at the stars and wonder what it would be

Now I just look at my watch and wonder when I’ll be free

Chasing shadows and numbers chasing dollar signs

While the beautiful moments are slipping right past the lines

I missed the birthdays the summers the things that were real

Replaced by anxiety and the numbness I feel

I gotta break the cycle I gotta find the escape

Before the final curtain falls and locks down the tape

I’m standing right on the edge looking over the brink

I just need a second to stop and think

Bridge

Maybe the rush is a trap Maybe the hurry is fake

Maybe we only realize after the promises break

I’m stepping out of the race I’m letting go of the fear

I want to live in the now I want to feel that I’m here

No more speeding through verses no more thinking of hearses

I’m breaking all of the cycles I’m undoing the curses

Take a deep breath in let it go out slow

We got all the time in the world just let the melody flow

Chorus

Can we just slow it down Just pause for a minute

The world is moving too fast and I am lost within it

Give me a second to breathe give me a moment of peace

I need ticking to stop I need pressure to cease

Don't let the clock run out don't let the fire go cold

I’m trying to save my soul before my story is untold

Outro

Just slow it down

Yeah

Just take a deep breath in try not to blend in

Peace of mind
