What’s wrong with standing still
Who cares if nothing changes?
Stay awake in a state of stasis
That nothing rearranges
I wanna complicate, I wanna elevate
I wanna make amends for all the times I cannot wait
I wanna simplify, I wanna terrify
I wanna make a mess of all the plans I stupefy
What’s wrong with standing still
Who cares if nothing changes?
Stay awake in a state of stasis
That nothing rearranges
I wanna infiltrate, I wanna automate
I wanna stop it all and let the silence resonate
I wanna clarify, I wanna qualify
Don’t wanna waste my time and always have to justify
Slow your heart beat down
Slow your heart beat down
Breathing like you want to live
Knowing where the end lies
Show your heart the ending
What’s wrong with standing still
Who cares if nothing changes?
Stay awake in a state of stasis
That nothing rearranges
I wanna scintillate, don’t wanna vegetate
I wanna break the chains and help the world celebrate
I wanna dignify, I wanna verify
I wanna take the lies and see what we can rectify
What’s wrong with standing still
Who cares if nothing changes?
Stay awake in a state of stasis
That nothing rearranges
