Green Light Promises

What are these streets but just a snare to trap me in I got my pedal stalled in lines that never end What am I but a driver burning time When I'm stuck here crawling When my watch keeps tolling Will it slow me down further? The clock's hands laugh, mocking me again I tap the wheel, curse at the traffic's din Each minute's an hour, each horn a cruel chime I'm caged within steel, victim to time When I'm just inching, tension growing When red lights keep glowing Radio's playing, songs that I can't hear Mind's far away, wish I could disappear Tail lights, they're taunting, in an endless line I'm just a nomad on the road of time When I'm stranded, seeking solace When green lights are the promise Gears are grinding, souls intertwine Time is stealing, moments that are mine Mirrors flashing, the world's out of pace Watch hands spinning, in this four-wheeled race When I'm halted, patience tested When my journey's bested
