A Moment Suspended In Time

Underoath · Play Your Old Stuff [2011]

Held captive, I'm a prisoner

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
