Where Did All the Time Go? Lyrics

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

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 games

With fire he always was

He's trying to call it's bluff

His mind isn't smart enough

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 damn 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 hells shitty

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 killing me

I hear it still ticking

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

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

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
