Lyrics
Intro
time keeps crawling through the walls
same room
same ceiling
same excuses
everybody moves on…
except me
Verse
wake up late
same dead stare
same damn stain in the carpet there
same cold food
same tv glow
same fake smile that i always show
days blur black
weeks disappear
i blink once and another year
everybody climbing out alive
while i rot here just trying to survive
Pre-Chorus
and i know
i know
i know i should move
but my feet sink deeper every time
Chorus
time keeps moving
i stay still
watching life get swallowed whole
everybody passes through me
like i’m already gone
i waste away
more every day
another face beneath the wheel
they step over me like broken glass
and i let them
Post-Chorus
still here
still numb
still nothing
Verse
friends moved on
got married fast
pictures smiling from a better past
new houses
new lives
while i decay somewhere inside
i tried to scream
nothing came out
just static filling up my mouth
the mirror shakes when i look away
like even i don’t wanna stay
Bridge
i keep waiting for a moment
some big change
some big sign
but the world keeps spinning without me
and maybe…
maybe it always will
Breakdown
STAND STILL
FADE OUT
STAND STILL
FADE OUT
every second digs the hole deeper
i can feel the years inside my bones
Final Chorus
time keeps moving
i stay still
watching life erase my name
everybody walks right through me
like i never changed
i waste away
more every day
another shadow in the hall
they step over me like broken glass
and i let them
Outro
everybody moved on…
except me
