I'm screaming for the world to wait
It's flying by me so fast
It's changing at such a rapid pace
I fear I'm trapped in my past
And I scream and scream at the top of my lungs
For just one seconds rest!
I can't keep up with any of it
Oh just let me rest...
Let me stop and gather myself
My thoughts that tumble around me
Let me stop and figure this out
All my life has been my mystery
Someone help me!
Someone distract me!
Someone find me!
Someone save me!
I scream and I scream until my throat is raw.
Until my voice is razor sharp as it passes through my lips.
To grasp this churning world of ours
Before it slips right off my fingertips
Just slow down the tiniest bit
Just give me people I can trust
Just give me the ability to let go
For I know I must
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I’ll forever run and never catch up
Your world and mine have begun to collide
Perhaps I should just give up…
I am screaming for the world to wait!
It’s flying by me so fast!
It’s changing at such a rapid pace!
I fear to be forever trapped in my past.
