Time Stands Still

Over and over I curse my mind,
A search I've created with nothing to find.
I'm searching for something, I just don't know what,
Someone please pull me, up out of this rut.

A tangled mess is what my mind's made of,
I wanna find something that's made out of love.
Too many things in reflection of hate,
Give me my destiny, fulfilling my fate.

Bridge: (2x's)
Why does it come down to having to choose?
Who really cares when you've got nothing to lose?

Chorus:
Changing channels on the tube,
But nothing's quite, amusing my mood.
Time just keeps standing still,
Give me something, anything just for a thrill.

Falling with Alice down that rabbit hole,
Life is exhausting me, taking it's toll.
Time to break free from this looking glass,
Put myself out there and start kicking ass.

I wanna see the green grass on the other side,
Who wants to join me, come along for the ride?
Time's no factor, just let go,
'Cause out there's a world with so much more than we know.

Bridge: (Repeat 2x's)

Chorus: (Repeat 2x's)

Old thinking patterns are so hard to change. I'm right where you are. I understand. All the negative thoughts racing through your head. Been there, done that. Well put. Hits the nail on the head.
