Suspended Time - Samael

A moment in time

independent from the rest

a platform disconnected

from formal ground

a life inside the life

inconsequential but real

a parallel universe

optional to this one

Wondering who

can tell the truth

too far to one side

takes you to the other side

I can tell you

'bout my own truth

too far one way

takes you the other way

And I

slip inside

a world in stand-by

while life goes on

stop is a start

in suspended time

whatever has been

left behind

keep on feeding

the suspended time

A possibility

explored but not

developed

a visited fantasy

excluded from history

a personal snapshot

or a private play

an alternative nest

of living

memory

Wondering who

can tell the truth

too far to one side

takes you to the other side

I can tell you

'bout my own truth

too far one way

takes you the other way

And I

slip inside

a world in stand-by

while life goes on

stop is a start

in suspended time

whatever has been

left behind

keep on feeding

the suspended time

A hyphen

between you and I

between here and there

between in and out

between up and

down

A world in stand-by

while life goes on

stop is a start

in suspended time

whatever has been

left behind

keep on feeding

the suspended time
