Time Stands Still

Time stands still and no man wins

When you strike a compromise

Go on and fool yourself

Go on begin to live a life denied

You can fool yourself

You cannot fool me

I have been ‘round here before

I’ve heard each excuse for self-abuse

And I’m sure to hear some more

You can convince yourself to sit and wait

Try to erase these things that pass

But it comes down to you to make your move

If you want this change to last

You can hurt yourself, you cannot hurt me

My skin is thick and battle worn

I have no empathy for your entropy

I’m immune to all your scorn

Your age has blinded you

From seeing what’s outside

Discerning what is truth

Can get confusing on this ride

Still I promise you if you make it known

You’ll not tolerate your fear

The switch will turn itself and light come on

To guide your way from here

Because you can curse the dark

And not see the light

It’s this mistake that we all made

Try to forgive yourself for lack of sight

Don’t be paralyzed by fate
