Standstill

These old roads Winding me to sleep Mist banks on either side Are plundering the scene There is nothing to keep me here Behind every bend Another memory Rearing its ugly head I clamp onto the steering wheel Another tearful street Same pain, same grief It seems I'm lost in time And I still can't face Any of it, anything So lost in time I swerve off On more inner travels Drive an extra block Take my feelings someplace else Or let them slip right past I wonder what it is that keeps me here I wonder what it is that keeps This wedge growing so viciously Everything exists outside the world That I have been living in Well something's got to give Suddenly the smell of smoke on everything When I pull up the driveway It seems I'm lost in time And I still can't face Any of it, anything So lost in time I wonder what it is that keeps me here I wonder what it is that keeps me here I should be leaving it all I should be leaving it all So I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all I'm leaving it all At the next standstill I will dive headfirst Into a future still unknown Screech out of this place With the past on my tail But at least I keep on going At the next standstill I will dive headfirst Into a future still unknown Screech out of this place With the past on my tail But at least I keep on going At the next standstill I will dive headfirst Into a future still unknown Screech out of this place With the past on my tail But at least I keep on going
