Standing By

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

Here it comes, we use each other as a crutch, and I now, can’t stand up straight,
Falling down, is taking longer than I thought, and I still can’t see the ground,
How to stop, the wheels from dragging you back to the start, and around I go,
Flashing by, fragments of a former life, that try, to split my mind,
And they’re always getting lost there.

Sometimes I’m waiting for a chance to start again,
But never realise that as I’m standing by that it’s too late,
And I’ve lost track of years again,
And I’m running out of any chance to change

Drowning out all the past in echoed sounds and I keep my ears plugged up,
Drowning in a comfort blanket of old skin and I’ll wrap it ‘till I’m stuck,
Speeding up. Days go through like paper cuts and it’s death by taking time,
And my hands blood-red from scrapping former plans, but I don’t remember why.
And I’ve lost the will to try
