[Intro] Tick-tick-tock, the clock runs thin Same frame spins, I’m locked within [Verse 1] Back when one day felt endless long Morning stayed till the night was gone Every hour stretched, heavy, wide Whole lifetimes fit inside one ride Seconds moved slow, filled up with light Every touch new, everything bright One small day, infinite space Time had weight, time had face [Pre-Chorus 1] Motion pulled the moments wide Change kept time from slipping by Every unknown, every desire Dragged the seconds through the fire [Verse 2] Now the days just sprint and slide Weeks collapse, the years divide Same routine, cloned sensation Fast-forwarded repetition Nothing new to bend the frame So time just burns, but leaves no flame Not too old, just standing still Nothing lived — that’s the kill [Pre-Chorus 2] It’s not age that makes time fly It’s living days on multiply No friction, everything stays safe Speed is born from the lack of change [Chorus] Gold experience, time compression Adult speed is learned stagnation Same-day playback, numb vibration Kills the sense of duration Gold experience, break the loop New collision, different truth If one day once felt infinite It’s proof — time bends when you move [Guitar Solo] (Instrumental) [Bridge] Fear turns time to bullet trains Choice ignites the slower flames Patterns carve the shortest lines Change redesigns the clock inside [Chorus] Gold experience, time compression Adult speed is learned stagnation Same-day playback, numb vibration Kills the sense of duration Gold experience, break the loop New collision, different truth If one day once felt infinite It’s proof — time bends when you move [Final Chorus] Nothing lost, just left untouched Days feel fast ’cause I don’t rush To live a moment worth the stare I move — and seconds learn to care [Outro] Tick-tick-tock, I steer the sound Time slows down when I turn around
