Still Life Songtext
von Little Scream

I′ve been riding with my back to the window of the L train
Dwelling in the nighttime, in the middle of the day
A man is preaching about consequence and truth
I'm too busy thinking what I′m gonna say to you

A sophisticated daydream, you can hear no sound
As you slam into a bar room, and the curtain's coming down
I look to ya to show me what I'm worth
You look through me and I crumble to the earth

What′s the name of that Manet
Where she′s staring through your heart?
Like a still life with you in view
I see it so clear, but nothing moves
And it's like time slows (Time slows) when I see you
The light falls (Light falls), the perfect hue
A still life with you in view

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na


The complicated chaos, turning something into nothing
The subtle truths that used to slay us
No longer leave your heart jumping
When I feel that I am stealing just to look
Is that the moment where a wall becomes a book?
I′m looking at your profile and you're rhyming with the round
Staring at your black shirt with the buttons coming down

I can′t tell if I am scared or if I'm smart
I have learned I can′t always trust my heart

What's the name of the road not traveled?
Is your mind made up?
In this still life with you in view
I see it so clear, but nothing moves
And it's like time slows (Time slows) when I see you
The light falls (Light falls), the perfect hue
A still life with you in view

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
