When I was just a little boy
With no ambition but a brand new toy
I stumbled into Satan’s den
Well in truth I was led there by a friend
But in the night I felt the heat
It was something I don’t wish to repeat
And the they lilacs smelled so sweet
And the they lilacs smelled so sweet

Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill

I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone

I walked unknowing with the devil’s mark
But I knew enough to avoid the dark
But even now in the summer sun
As God himself meets me one on one
I knew it was twisted up inside
With my heart and head and soul all tied
And I’ll never know why
And I’ll never know why

Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill

I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone

But even when I knew God was a lie
Or at least what He had wanted to try
I couldn’t calm down just the same
Life’s a bitch but it’s still a game
I looked and looked for the missing part
And I thought your touch would unlock my heart
But instead it made it all fall apart
But instead it made it all fall apart

Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill

I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone

The pain we feel transcends all time
But it doesn’t mean anything divine
So I’ll keep avoiding busy streets
And write my progress on a messy sheet
So they can know I got pretty far
I’ll not to jump in front of a car
Sometimes a scar is just a scar
Sometimes a scar is just a scar

Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill

I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone
