A Moment Suspended In Time
Underoath · Play Your Old Stuff [2011]
In the back room where the water leaks and I'm oh, so cold
Command me on what to do, but we both know neither you or I are in
control
There's nothing left for me here
I'm grabbing on to what's left of this hole.
It's all too real this can't be happening
Never again, ever again, will I say I'm Ok
I'm scared of the fate that will become mine
No time to talk you know the drill
Under my desk this can't be it
I'm only dreaming, I've got to be dreaming
but I can't get up. No time to talk, not this time, this is my place
This is where I arrange (x2)
It's so funny how we see things so clear
when we have no time left to live
So lay back now and take it in
I won't say a word. I won't say anything
I can't believe how it feels
To stand here in this room
and feel like it's going to blow
I think we're all going to blow
Under my desk this can't be it
I'm only dreaming, I've got to be dreaming
but I can't get up. No time to talk, not this time, this is my place
This is where I arrange
I've got to be dreaming
We've got to be dreaming
Please don't wake me up
This is the end
