Standing Still Lyrics

Standing still

At the top of the hill

Poison thoughts

And lessons untaught

Helpless Popes saying he never learned

Get too close to the fire and you'll never retire

But you're bound to get shattered and burned

Frozen there

On the outskirts of crime

Without maps

Without reason or rhyme

On the road to a far better time

In the back room with familiar refrains

I think about those who once touched me

But I can't even remember their names

You and I drifting in and out of what we once were

Breaking new ground without making a sound

As the moment turns into a blur

Every day is a journey towards laughter

And a means to an end to these chains

We're dining with lawyers and CEO's

But we can't even remember their names

Photographs

Force you to laugh

They make you cry

They kiss you good-bye

Fractured time

Says, she'll never return

She's too close to the end to harbor a friend

Pretend, or even unlearn

Tucked away

In a stack of old needles

A strand of hay

A song by the Beatles

Try to step in and you're attacked by boll weevils

In a hayloft playing those childhood games

You think about those who once loved you

But you can't even remember their names

You and I drifting in and out of what we once were

Breaking new ground without making a sound

As the moment turns into a blur

Every day is a journey towards laughter

And a means to an end to these chains

We're dining with lawyers and CEO's

But we can't even remember their names
