Suspend
the Machine in the Garden Lyrics

Trapped in time
Feeling stuck in a particular moment or phase of life.

At the edge of reality
Being at a point between reality and perception where it is difficult to distinguish between the two.

If I could stand
Expressing a desire to be in control of one's current situation.

And look it in the eyes
Confronting one's problems directly, without fear or hesitation.

And change back
Wishing to go back to better times in the past.

To the way things were
Nostalgia for a simpler, happier time in the past.

Take everything away
Desire to start over, without any emotional baggage or past experiences weighing one down.

So I am not suspended
Not wanting to feel stuck in one's current emotional state or situation, but instead wanting to move forward.

Suspended above my life
Feeling disconnected or removed from one's own life or experiences.

Hovering around my fears
Being in constant proximity to one's fears or anxieties, unable to escape them.

Feelings change
Realizing that emotions are not static and can shift and evolve over time.

You've changed too
Acknowledging that other people in one's life can change just as much as oneself, and this can impact relationships.

And I can't speak
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or unable to express oneself.

And I can't know
Uncertainty about one's current situation and inability to see the future or know what to do next.

And I'm not alone
Feeling as though others are also experiencing similar difficulties or emotions.

And I fall
Being overwhelmed and unable to cope, leading to a sense of losing control or falling apart.

And I am far
Feeling distant from one's own emotions or sense of self.

And I am fear
Feeling consumed by anxiety or fear.

And my tears flood
Being unable to hold back emotions and feeling overwhelmed to the point of tears.

And I fall
Returning to the feeling of being overwhelmed and losing control.

And I can't see
Being emotionally blinded and unable to see things clearly.

And I can't leave
Feeling trapped in one's current situation or emotions, unable to move on or escape.

And I'm far beyond
Feeling disconnected or removed from one's own life or experiences.

And I fall
Continuing to feel overwhelmed and losing control.

And I am near
Feeling emotionally present and connected to oneself and others.

And I am real
Feeling grounded and present in one's own experiences and emotions.

And my heart longs
Feeling a deep longing or desire for something that is not currently present in one's life.

And I am
Returning to a sense of being present and grounded in one's own experiences and emotions.
