I know how to turn the clock forward in time.
To skip all these parts of this restless paradigm.
The present and future might change their lines.
But I'm gonna jump over time and make this all fine.
I'll make all this pass just to be certain.
It seems like things get paused and hard times remain.
I want to fast forward to stop this ache and pain.
So please, let the time run faster again like a bullet train.
My walls now crumble to hold the clock.
I'm stuck in this loop, awaiting for time to get me unlocked.
How could work rush by and make me lose track?
Yet leave me in slow mode, now being held back.
Let me skip to the longing good parts.
That's what it takes to ease my burnt out heart.
In times of stillness and bustling parts,
There are hands that signals the answer to play and restart.
My fate lies in these tireless hands.
In their touch, I am alive to understand.
How each second makes everything expand.
To make now and then aligns that ensures me grand.
I am holding on, so don't stop the clocks.
I am conquering all the parts that I lack.
Just like the flow of time, I've continued to change my ways.
I'll gradually restore my passion that once went away.
