Album: Cruel Inventions

Standing Still

in the middle of the night i'm growing secrets
holding the choice in my hand
my beating heart
some see an end i see a way out
starting with ashes i'm building fire

we're danced a long time
we've danced too long
out on the floor i'm thinking
i'm standing still

i want them to think i'm dead
turn off the noises that drug my brain
and make me buy
fashion is out of fashion
broken t.v. listens to the windwe're danced a long time
we've danced too long
out on the floor i'm thinking
i'm standing still

when i turn to look they're making sex
carry obsession to market
i'm so confused
i'm burning in the shadows
you're the only fire made to match

we're danced a long time
we've danced too long
out on the floor i'm thinking
i'm standing still
