Standstill

The beginning, I'm here. The end, I'm there. The middle, nowhere. The far end, I see an endless road. The close part, I feel a lively vibe.
I'm here
I'm there
I'm where
I'm nowhere
Stop. Now I'm down. Pick me up. Or leave me on the ground. I'm still. No movement. No sound.
BAM
Hit me like a truck full of bricks
Shatter
The love. The fight. The cries. The blood
Was it all worth it
The cool. The hot. The up. The down
Can you tell me which way my body hides still
I'm at a standstill. Can't feel. What's real. Stand still. So I can make you heal
The red. The green. The yellow. No one pays attention to the yellow
It's ignored. Left alone. They prefer red. They prefer green. But not yellow
Whoosh
Time passes by
Weeks turn into days
Days turn into hours
Hours turn into minutes
Minutes turn into seconds
Seconds turn into nothing
Tick
The clock doesn't stop
Tock
It doesn't standstill
Tick
Haunting. Taunting
Tock
Going out of my f***king mind
Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock
Make it stop
I'm at a standstill. Can't feel. You're not real. Can't stand still
Hiss
Hiss
Poisonous. Evil. But clever
Hiss
The fire
Hiss
The crawl
Hiss hiss
A goodbye to you
Forever
And
Ever
I'm at a standstill
But the hatred for you
Will never
Standstill.
