Still

[Verse]
I was hoping for snow, so I had a good excuse
Cause this staying still, never leave the house
Got me tripping out
I’ll put this mania to use
Another barrier to truth
Used to own the sky like I was Zeus
Lightning through the roof
Stars aligned in view
Slipped my way on through winter blues
It was a different time, different state of mind
Different person in the mirror
But these ticking hands slow dance
Romanticized thoughts seem less severe
Licking all my wounds to the tune of my inner dialogue
Let another monologue go unheard
Clear mind, but the world burns
Clear mind, but the world burns
Still

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything was gone and got lost in the waves
Yet I couldn’t wait for the world to know
It was all a wreck
It was all direct, saying
“We were all just blessed to know”

[Chorus]
Still my mother’s son
Still the same kid
Still an older brother
Still uncertain
Still ain’t sure of shit
Still sing songs of melancholy
Still my father’s blood
Still the same friend
Still content alone
Still on the mend

[Verse]
I don’t sleep right when the dream’s too vivid
Loose images used to help me with the numb
Eyes open, eyes shut
Shut open
Lost sight, all blurred into one
Closed circle
Where’d it start?
How’d it close?
I don’t know
In a daze, wishing I was still kissing clouds
In and out I woke up to the sun
I kept infinity on pause, but infinity came back
Taste still burned into my tongue
Lungs cracked but still in tact
Licking all my wounds to the tune of my inner dialogue
Let another monologue go unheard
Still see it all as it turns slowly
Still much to learn
Still

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything was gone and got lost in the waves
Yet I couldn’t wait for the world to know
It was all a wreck
It was all direct, saying
“We were all just blessed to know”

[Chorus]
Still my mother’s son
Still the same kid
Still an older brother
Still uncertain
Still ain’t sure of shit
Still sing songs of melancholy
Still my father’s blood
Still the same friend
Still content alone
Still on the mend
