Verse 1:
In the whirl of time, relentless and rough,
Joys flee quickly, like shadows in dew,
Sorrow creeps silently, stifling the cry,
Game of time, play no more with me.


Chorus:
Time drives me to hurried decisions, Joys fade,
Thin as air, Caught in the sticky pace of pain,
Longing to escape the chasm of time.


Verse 2:
Racing against the cruel hand of the clock,
Dreams evaporate like mist in the wind,
Standing still when I wish to expand,
In time's grasp, my fate firmly held.


Bridge:
Oh, if only I could break free,
From the chains of uneven hours,
To live in moments as they ought to be,
Full and still, unburdened by sorrow.


Chorus:
Time drives me to hurried decisions, Joys fade
Thin as air, Caught in the sticky pace of pain,
Longing to escape the chasm of time.


Outro:
So I plead for a pause, for a break,
To enjoy life without haste, From time's clutches,
I'll make my escape, Into a calm, unhurried quietude
