The Day the Earth Stood Still

I found myself
In the middle of nothing
Feeling like everything
Had ground to a halt
Took it and waited
For half an eternity
Suddenly found out
I’m nowhere at all
Relax as I
Hear a voice from the future
Must be miles from here
Or maybe in my head
Everything here is
So cold and never near
The sound of static
Still ringing in my ears
It was the first day
Of the rest of my life
A day that the earth stood still in it’s tracks
And I was everything
And I was still nothing
A day where I could have never come back
Shadows and figures
Gathered in crowds
Vague empty faces
Covered in shrouds
Screaming in silence
Mouth can’t be opened
Staring at the walls
Watching them close in
It was the first day
Of the rest of my life
A day that the earth stood still in it’s tracks
And I was everything
And I was still nothing
A day where I could have never come back
And I will never retread these lines
I will never rediscover that place
I won’t walk in with wide open veins
I will never roam these tracts again
It was the first day
Of the rest of my life
A day that the earth stood still in it’s tracks
And I was everything
And I was still nothing
A day where I could have never come back
