Song 179

lyrics

One step is all you ever need, this soul's awake enough to feed
Untied waiting for the day, United when I run away
I feel it coming back
Tragic lunacy, taking over me, I stand still

Tired waves across my shore, Waiting to find out so much more
Chasing wings of paper doves, Losing touch from waking up
I dismiss the pain
Magic circumstance, waste another chance, I stand still

Fixing flaws left in the clay, I stand still
Chasing bonds that will not break, I stand still
Walk along the broken street, I stand still
Choices made in empty days, I stand still
I remain alive

Choking on words I cannot say, Breathing in a desperate day
Winning every game I play, changing all my worried ways
I have tried my luck
Plastic passers by, care enough to try, I stand still

Fixing flaws left in the clay, I stand still
Chasing bonds that will not break, I stand still
Walk along the broken street, I stand still
Choices made in empty days, I stand still
I remain alive

Hold on to what you are, It won't take long to fade away
