letra de where did all the time go? - joey mayer

[chorus]
a clock ticks at a snail’s pace
when your gaze doesn’t stray from it
we both got a mountain in our way
but we ain’t staring at the same summit
i ain’t scared to plummet but i’m scared to fall
there was a time when i barely felt fear at all
but still i crawled away from all of you

[verse 1]
where did all the time go?
scared to follow my soul
all the way to my goals
it’s hard to change your time zone
staying in the same state
mind goes a mile a minute
brain in the same place
remaining a vacant
vagrant who can’t change
who’s praying to stay sane
but playing the same gamеs
with fire he always was
he’s trying to call it’s bluff
his mind isn’t smart еnough
he’d die ‘fore he caught a buzz
but he’d black out aiming for it
the man’s loud
he stands out in a d-mn crowd
he ain’t a tourist
what kind of artist’s heart
is too scared to paint a portrait?
neglects his soul, so it’s drink he’s pouring
maintain the source of all his
vain and morbid self pity
heaven may be boring, but h-lls sh-tty
the taste has faded but the smells with me
the echo of the dinner bell
ringing is still in me
ego feeding itself
my hunger was k!lling me
i hear it still ticking
[chorus]
a clock ticks at a snail’s pace
when your gaze doesn’t stray from it
we both got a mountain in our way
but we ain’t staring at the same summit
i ain’t scared to plummet but i’m scared to fall
there was a time when i barely felt fear at all
but still i crawled away from all of you

[verse 2]
snowflakes grazing my cheek
fate looking bleak
finally getting out of state for a week
i’m at the window seat in an exit row
unable to see
i let it go, and just stare at a screen
at least i’m writing though, i never know
the thoughts my brain will release
a metronome takes the place of the beat
a steady tempo
until i’m making the pace stop
rain drops, on my mind
as i’m waiting for take off
maybe stormy weather is sure to come
maybe turbulence is burdensome
and worrisome
but isn’t trying to murder us
maybe the demons we’re scared of the most
haven’t even heard of us
maybe here
we’re the ones that they should fear
i can barely hear out my aching ears
while the plane departs
stress rises, stomach drops
ears pop, it breaks my heart
can i make it stop?
shake the thoughts that scare my mom?
is my baggage light enough to bring with me
or too heavy to carry on?
i pray to god as i wrestle this instrumental
i know life isn’t simple
but can i live as if it is though?
i’m sentimental
i never let go of thoughts of the past
all of its not gonna last, clocks ticking fast
a different tempo when you
feel it slipping through your grasp
i hear it ticking
why’d i skip so much of music class?
i keep trying to rewind it
but don’t know who to ask
father time says the bottom line is
move your ass
[chorus]
a clock ticks at a snail’s pace
when your gaze doesn’t stray from it
we both got a mountain in our way
but we ain’t staring at the same summit
i ain’t scared to plummet but i’m scared to fall
there was a time when i barely felt fear at all
but still i crawled away from all of you
