Alone In A Blank World [Music Lyric Challenge]

All I know,
Time is a valuable thing -
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings,
Watch it count down to the end of the day,
The clock ticks life away,
It’s so unreal;
Didn’t look out below,
Watch the time go right out the window.

People don’t want time to go by. They want everything to stay exactly the way it is, for that moment to just go on forever. Change is Public Enemy Number One to them, just as it is to many others.

But sitting here alone, weeping, rocking back and forth on my bed, wishing time would just go on. I don’t know how it happened, how I got here, why I’m the only one here.. but it happened. It’s happening.

The cause: unknown.
Population: me.

Well, it’s me to the extent of my knowledge. Whether people could make this happen on or off, if there is possibly a way to turn it off, is beyond me.

All I know is that I’m stuck.

Time has stopped, yet I’m still breathing, living, and moving. Everyone, everything has frozen – but me.

I’m alone in literally, a blank world.

    very powerful and I adore the loose structure you used that was really interesting as it was not repetitive at all
