Taking Forever

Verse

…it’s taking forever, I can feel all the pressure,

every moment stretching thin like it’s testing my very measure.

My thoughts keep circling tighter, like they’re running out of room,

and the silence in the air feels heavy as a closing gloom.

I’m trying to stay steady, trying hard to keep control,

but the weight keeps creeping inward like it’s settling in my soul.

I’m counting down the seconds, though they barely seem to move,

stuck inside this dragging rhythm with no tempo left to prove.

Break

I’m waiting for a shift, for a spark, for something clearer—

anything to break the tension that keeps drawing ever nearer.

And though I’m holding on, my grip is slipping bit by bit,

as the moment stretches longer than I ever pictured it.
