Stop the World

[Verse 1]
The clock is ticking louder than the rain,
Another loop of static in my brain.
The neon lights are blurring in the haze,
I’m running circles through these empty days.

[Chorus]
Oh, stop the world, I think I need to get off now,
My heart is spinning and I’ve forgotten how to slow it down.
Just hit the brakes, give me a minute to breathe,
Before the gravity pulls me underneath.

[Verse 2]
The traffic hums a cold and heavy tune,
Beneath the hollow white of afternoon.
I’m looking for a place that feels like home,
Somewhere to rest, somewhere I’m not alone.

[Chorus]
Oh, stop the world, I think I need to get off now,
My heart is spinning and I’ve forgotten how to slow it down.
Just hit the brakes, give me a minute to breathe,
Before the gravity pulls me underneath.

[Bridge]
Silence is a luxury I can’t afford,
While tethered to this restless, jagged chord.

[Final Chorus]
Stop the world, I think I need to get off now,
My heart is spinning and I’ve forgotten how to slow it down.
Just hit the brakes, give me a minute to breathe,
Before the gravity pulls me underneath.

[Outro]
Let it fade to grey.
I’m stepping off today.
Just let it fade away.
