a word is like a bird in the middle of a page
a fleeting glimpse of madness caught in a cage
the moon it fades too soon and there it shall stay
a hint of wondrous sanity gone for the day

and still we stay
our eyes firmly fixed on the ground
a beating heart to shoulder the sound
and still we stay

a grin conceals the sin in the thoughts you cannot hide
a bloated sense of self-esteem in your self indulgent pride
a dream follows the stream that winds its ways through you
like pattering rain drops on the roof you won't catch more than just a few

and still we stay
our eyes firmly fixed on the ground
a beating heart to shoulder the sound
and still we stay

in the dark there shines a spark casting shadows on your soul 
igniting painful memories in the flickering candles glow
So say you will pray for the wraith that haunts you so
invent a reason to close your eyes hide yourself from the horror show

and still we stay
our eyes firmly fixed on the ground
a beating heart to shoulder the sound
and still we stay
our eyes stare blankly at the page
habits form the bars of our cage
and still we stay
and still we stay
