Still Too Fast

Verse 1 (quiet, controlled) The world is breathing in slow motion Every word hangs in the air I hear the end before you start it I wait… and pretend I’m there I smile where the moment wants me Hold my tongue, bite the sound I’ve already lived this second But I stay… I stay around Pre-Chorus (tension building) I slow my thoughts till they’re breaking I fold my hands so they don’t shake Every second feels like lying Just to move at your pace Chorus (power, restrained rage) I love you more than time allows me More than words can ever say I would stop the world from turning If it meant I’d feel the same I run inside my own head screaming While the silence calls my name I’m not afraid of being alone I’m afraid I’ll always stay Still too fast Verse 2 (heavier, darker) I see the fallout before the impact Hear the echo before the sound I know how every choice ends Before it ever hits the ground You reach for me, I’m already there And already pulling back I don’t want to hurt you with distance But I don’t know how to come back Pre-Chorus 2 (more aggressive) I carry seconds like a burden Every heartbeat weighs a ton If I slow down I start fading If I don’t… I outrun everyone Chorus (full weight) I love you more than time allows me More than flesh and fear and fate I would tear the sky wide open Just to hesitate I run inside my own head screaming While the silence calls my name I’m not afraid of being lonely I’m afraid I’ll never change Still too fast Bridge (breakdown, almost spoken / distorted) If I stop—everything catches me If I move—I leave it behind I don’t belong to the moment I belong to the line (Time bends here—drop instruments briefly, let vocals breathe) I’ve seen forever blink I’ve watched tomorrow die Tell me how to stay human When I already said goodbye Final Chorus (anthemic, tragic, controlled) I love you more than time allows me But love was never built for speed I’d give up every second after Just to feel you reach for me I run inside my own head screaming But I stand here anyway If this is what it means to save the world Then I’ll bear the weight Still too fast Still too fast Outro (quiet, resigned) So I wait… And I slow… And I stay.
