Frozen Time

The clock is cracked, the hands don't move A silent scream inside this groove
Moments stretch and minutes bleed But still I stand, I do not plead
The sky is grey, the air stands still This cage of frost obeys no will
Every breath, a blade of glass Every thought, a shadow cast
Eyes wide open, nothing fades Trapped beneath this ice-laced haze
I shout I'd burn, but nothing climbs Buried deep in frozen time
Frozen time Where echoes break and voices die
Still I breathe, but don't know why Frozen time
No yesterday, no forward line Just me and truth I can't define
Memories hang like broken chains Dripping sorrow locked in pain
The past repeats in quiet tones A choir of regret and bones
I touch the flame, but feel no heat I bleed in place, but don't retreat
The world has turned, but I remain A monument to silent strain
The stillness screams beneath my skin A war that I don't let begin
But even cold must someday crack And when it does, I'm coming back
Frozen time A moment's weight that held me down
But I won't break, I wear the crown Frozen time
You took my steps, but not my fire I'll thaw this grave and climb it higher
The space descends with one sharp breath A roar, a tear, a will-fed death
I'll break the seal, I'll bend the rhyme And shatter every wall of time
