Everything feels so slow

The ticks and tocks of a clock

The stomps of feet

The clicking of a keyboard

The tapping of fingertips

It all seems so slow

I used to be so fast

But as time went on 

The slower time has gone

It might be finally catching up to me

Maybe that's why I can hear my heart

The slow thump thump it makes

The more the day prgresses

The more I seem to degress

It's become more slow

More and more slow

Slower and slower and slower

Time starts passing

Slower and slower and slower

Then

It stops

Everything stops
