Standstill
These old roads
Winding me to sleep
Mist banks on either side
Are plundering the scene
There is nothing to keep me here
Behind every bend
Another memory
Rearing its ugly head
I clamp onto the steering wheel
Another tearful street
Same pain, same grief
It seems I’m lost in time
And I still can’t face
Any of it, anything
So lost in time
I swerve off
On more inner travels
Drive an extra block
Take my feelings someplacе else
Or let thеm slip right past
I wonder what it is that keeps me here
I wonder what it is that keeps
This wedge growing so viciously
Everything exists outside the world
That I have been living in
Well something’s got to give
Suddenly the smell of smoke on everything
When I pull up the driveway
It seems I’m lost in time
And I still can’t face
Any of it, anything
So lost in time
I wonder what it is that keeps me here
I wonder what it is that keeps me here
I should be leaving it all
So I’m leaving it all
At the next standstill
I will dive headfirst
Into a future still unknown
Screech out of this place
With the past on my tail
But at least I keep on going
