Standing Still

Time stands still without you
I wait, without knowing
I wait, without it showing
I will be the good one.

But time stands still without you
And your intentions circle me
Like a jackal, with a thirst
But I will be the good one.

And what does it matter of my intentions?
I am without a soul
The coldness has taken over
The coldness has taken control.  

Love is a feeling
And what of numbness?
The minute I heard the words out of your mouth
I wanted it: that feeling.

And now that I have found it
Spring has come, or seems to be knocking
It's getting darker later
And the world is beckoning.

Tell me, after the cold
And the numbness (when one no longer wants it)
Can one ever feel that deeply again
Or is that the one-wish grant I get to keep?

I'll mow my lawns, seed my hopes
Dreams again, they're coming strong
Now that I've stopped taking the little white pills
To stop me from doing anything bad, to myself.

After the winter of my heart,
I have grown up, I've seen the angels
And the shadows at night
I am no longer afraid

But time stands still without you.
