Slow Motion

Verse
When you can't have what you’re wanting
Keeps evading you when you're trying
To make the ends meet up or have something work or make something happen
Stuck right here in amber frozen in time
Feeling like a broken clock, not really working
Only right twice a day, and it's miles away but your heart keeps searching
Stranded in space, and I’m lost in time
Hope I'll be lucky when the clock hits nine
Suspended here in mid-air, dull but well aware that thе sand still frozen

Pre-chorus
In the dеsert, where it shapes, and shifts like it's alive
So tell me why won't it move for me
I can't get the air out of my lungs, I'm in slow motion
And I can't move, unless you tell me I can

Chorus
Moving in slo-mo, these pictures in standstill
Like statues, cold and lifeless as stone
Emerging now echoes, I used to, but no more
Just waiting and hoping for time to pick back up

Verse
Praying, “Dear God someone save me”
It's been a long time I been waiting
To get the hands ticking or make something start or get something moving
But I feel helpless and trapped inside
Feeling like a puppet show strings feel like iron
Grip me in a fist of ice, no use trying to fight cause it’s out of my hands yeah
Mind tick-tocking I’m lost inside
Hope I feel something when the frost don't bite
Thawing at the edges now, no show still I bow until the stands start erupting

Pre-chorus
In the desert, where it shapes, and shifts like it’s alive
So tell me why won't it move for me
I can't get the air out of my lungs, I'm in slow motion
And I can’t move, unless you tell me I can

Chorus
Moving in slo-mo, these pictures in standstill
Like statues, cold and lifeless as stone
Emerging now echoes, I used to, but no more
Just waiting and hoping for time to pick back up

Verse
I've been wanting so much but I just can't have it they won't give it to me
Feels so far out of reach
I deserve it, I should have it, please don't make me beg I'm down on both knees
Fighting gravity
Please let me go, I just can't stay, be on my way
I can't stay here anymore unfreeze the clocks for me
