Stand Still

No More Standing Still

My life feels like its going nowhere, i feel like i'm just at a standstill, the world keeps spinning but i just stay still, no matter how i push forward i only seem to tilt, because im at a stand still, my heart yearns to move forward so i can stop poppin them pills, one by one it just makes me stand still, day in and day out they try to give me advice telling me to put it to the test but all i can think is how i just need to rest, because when you're at rest you get to think about how heavy the world is hangin' on your shoulders like boulders weighin' you to the ground so you won't be found, unless you can break away from your stand still that only makes you ill and want to kill, but guess what you can no longer stand still because the flames that start to burn inside you are what guide you so that you no longer stand still, so you no longer have to push and just tilt, and no longer get ill and feel the need to kill, there will be no more stand still. Stand still, stand still.
