Suspended Time

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
