I Stood Anyway

knowing where you stand, but not wanting to stand, so you stand somewhere else, but you still fall, and the love that never dies, fails, you're flatlined, facing a faceless crowd, but you feel a painful resemblence, a welcoming resistance, wild rain, would you rather heal, help, or hope, or just feel, feeling wild rain, falling, dream a nightmare's dream, fading, finding, scream a silent prayer, screaming, or dream, of dreaming, or silence, waiting, or wading, in blue, for you, for him, he, he fills my blue skies, he, he feels my blues, he, he sang a blue song, a good song, a bluesy type song, the nonsense frightened my bones, the night went on, and on, knowing where he stands, where he stood, so i am standing somewhere else, but not wanting to stand, i stood anyway, she stands anyway, standing, far far far away, and i still fell, she falls.. hello?
