Standstill
In a spectre of will
My thoughts stand still
In the cacophony of lies
My eyes were never blind
In the deceit of the living
My ears doubt in believing
In the loss of another
I will never falter
For I think, and I know
For I breathe, and still breathing in tow
For I see, and my suspicions accurate
All caution from what was once immaculate
For I feel, and I am now broken
In standstill, my soul has been taken
Far away; far, far away
Away from this plane, my life lingers in disarray.
