In the Quiet Moments

How do I sit in the quiet moments  
When I want to rip my soul from me  
   
Time is slow except when you want it to turn  
Sitting on a rock pile whistle won’t go off for hours  
   
Biding your time against your sanity  
Sanity screams set me free  
The clock isn’t a minute past midnight  
   
So I go back into figuring    
What I’ll do with the time that runs out  
I don’t want to give this away  
   
Seconds pass time turns I find my quiet times  
But I want to run free from the things that hold me back  
   
Wheel keeps turning    
Sun keeps a rising  
What do I do in the moments in between    
   
Wheel keeps turning    
Sun keeps a rising  
   
What do I do in the moments in between    
   
What do i do in the moments of my life  
   
Wheel keeps turning  
Sun keeps rising  
   
What do I do in the  in between
