Time's Prisoner

I think of 1992
To me, it seems like yesterday
But when I look at the calendar
I see it was so far away
All the time that has since passed
Was swallowed in the blink of an eye
And time for me has not progressed
I'm stuck there, and I don't know why

Some times were bad, but most were good
I'd bring them back if only I could
Those times when I could laugh and play
Were so much better than life today

Life goes on as it always does
But mine's been set on automatic
Day to day with no conscious thought
My mind is always filled with static
Stuck in a time from long ago
And I can't seem to find my way back
I'm not sure if I even want to escape
From this world in which I am trapped

Living only in the past
Reliving times that couldn't last
The sun sets on another day
And I feel my life slowly slipping away

There are no walls surrounding me
And no steel bars to keep me in
I'm prisoner to Time itself
My world has stopped and lost its spin
Reliving times from distant past
A smile grows upon my face
Remembering the memories
That Time has not quite yet erased

In this frozen world of mine
I'm held prisoner by Time
And there's no way I can move on
Until my Earthly time is gone
