Stagnation

Always moving forward, 

Perpetually stagnant

An illusion of motion

Like when you’re standing still

And the train beside you kicks into movement

I’m standing in the wrong place

Always living in the wrong face

Never quite here nor there 

Never anywhere I want to be, anywhere is nowhere

Oh, life passes by

And I’m finding it hard to care

Oh, waiting for something good to happen

But I haven’t got the will to put myself out there

Always moving forward, 

Perpetually going nowhere

An illusion of motion 

As they leave you behind, 

They meet your gaze out the window with their stares

I look at them in envy

As life slips away from me

I don’t know how to catch up

Don’t know to get back up on my feet

Oh, life passes me by

And I’m finding it hard to care

Oh, waiting for something good to happen

But I haven’t got the will to put myself out there

This stagnation - come ‘round and be my catalyst

Come ‘round and give me some salvation

This stagnation - is killing me

Nothing to propel me

Perpetually out of steam

Like someone siphoned the tank,

Like the circumstances have stolen all my energy

I look at you with envy

If I can look at you at all

I don’t know how to claw my way up

All I do is continually fall

Oh, life passes me by

And I’m finding it difficult  to care

Oh, waiting for something good to happen

But I haven’t got the will to put myself out there

This stagnation - come ‘round and be my catalyst

Come ‘round and give me some salvation

This stagnation - is killing me

This stagnation, this stagnation, this stagnation

Is killing me.
