Standstill

If there’s such a thing

As free will

I guess you could say

We are volunteering

Before it begins (if there’s such a thing)

It is over - still

Away we go

You never know

I thought we all ran on a treadmill

I thought it all went down the same hill

I didn’t know things could come to a standstill

Felt like everything

Was in ink

When there’s no need to think

About every feeling

Still I got my teeth into it

Might have been overkill

Thought you just had to choose

Thought that’s what people do

But it was like bringing a knife to gun fight

I made decisions without visions for the life you and I were living

I took it all as a given because

I thought we all ran on a treadmill

I thought it all went down the same hill

I didn’t know things could come to a standstill

I thought we all ran on a treadmill

I thought it all went down the same hill

I didn’t know things could come to a standstill

to a standstill

to a standstill

to a standstill

to a standstill

I thought we all ran on a treadmill

I thought it all went down the same hill

I didn’t know things could

I didn’t know things could

I thought we all ran on a treadmill

I thought it all went down the same hill

I didn’t know things could come to a standstill

to a standstill

to a standstill

to a standstill

to a standstill
