[Verse]
Clock ticks slow but my mind won't race
Papers stack high in this hollow place
Shadows stretch long in the afternoon light
But I’ll get there yeah I’ll make it right
[Verse 2]
To-do lists scream but I hush their call
One more coffee leaning on the wall
The weight of tomorrow it don’t scare me none
I’m just building suspense till the work gets done
[Chorus]
I’m not running away just holding my ground
Let the tension rise let it wrap around
When I finally move it'll all make sense
I'm just taking my time building suspense
[Verse 3]
Dust gathers thick on the things I ignore
I’ll sweep it clean when I walk through that door
The pressure’s a storm but I’m calm in its eye
The fire will come but I’ll never fry
[Bridge]
It’s not delay it’s a grand design
A masterful stroke on this canvas of mine
Closure comes with a bang not a whimper or plea
Just wait till the world finally sees me
[Chorus]
I’m not running away just holding my ground
Let the tension rise let it wrap around
When I finally move it'll all make sense
I'm just taking my time building suspense
