Standing still

**[Verse 1]**

City lights blur, but I stay frozen

Everyone runs fast like the world’s been chosen

Tick-tock, tick-tock—time keeps killing

But I’m stuck here **silent, still, unwilling**

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And I swear I’m trying—

But the world keeps flying—

Yeah, the world keeps flying…

**[Chorus]**

**They move on, move on, move on—

While I stand still.

They speed up, speed up, speed up—

And I can’t feel.

They rise up, rise up, rise up—

While I hold tight.

I’m standing still, standing still, standing still

While the world ignites.**

**[Verse 2]**

Every door slams shut before I reach it

Every new sunrise feels like a secret

Push-pull, push-pull—lost in the motion

Waves crash hard but I can’t find the ocean

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Yeah I swear I’m trying—

But the world keeps flying—

Yeah, the world keeps flying…

**[Chorus]**

**They move on, move on, move on—

While I stand still.

They speed up, speed up, speed up—

I’m stuck in the spill.

They rise up, rise up, rise up—

While I lose sight.

I’m standing still, standing still, standing still

While the world ignites.**

**[Bridge]**

Maybe I’m breaking

Maybe I’m waking

Maybe this stillness

Is my own awakening

But every time I breathe in—

The world runs past again…

**[Final Chorus]**

**They move on, move on, move on—

But I won’t fall.

They speed up, speed up, speed up—

But I still crawl.

They rise up, rise up, rise up—

I’ll rise when I’m ready.

Standing still, standing still—

’Cause my storms hit heavy.**
