Still

Like subtle signs in late september I feel it slowly slip out of my hands The faces I can not remember The forts and castles that no longer stand Numbers in the sand that fade Bit by bit with every wave Bit by bit with every wave History's erased Crashing in to clean the slate Bit by bit with every wave Bit by bit with every wave Memories are erased Time keeps moving quickly Though I'm standing still On and on Here I'm laying still Suddenly the skies will open The waterworks that run and never stop Sometimes things are better left broken The fix will only highlight what was lost Screws and nails will rust away Bit by bit with every wave Bit by bit with every wave History's erased Crashing in to make me break Bit by bit with every wave Bit by bit with every wave Memories are erased Time keeps moving quickly Though I'm standing still On and on Here I'm laying still
