Still

Running around twenty four seven
In circles that lead to a counterfeit heaven
Trying so hard to match up, to catch up
With that elusive horizon

A face in the crowd, a drop in the ocean
I'm tossed by a wave in chaotic motion
It's just a question of make it of break it
To that elusive horizon

This rat race wild goose chase
So normal to me
Now I'm pushed in a corner
So suddenly

That I just can't keep Still still still
So hard to keep still still still
Be still within that quiet place
Where I can see me face to face

Trust and surrender learn to let go
Free me from the shackles that bind me to ego
But still still still, I can't keep still

Looking outside searching in vain
For temporary pleasure to soothe the pain
Flirting with my own illusion delusion
Of that elusive horizon

I'm sick and tired and ready to give up
Tired of the pressure of having to live up
To my unreal expectations
Of that elusive horizon

Now the bubble has burst and the worst it confronts me
Wherever I've tried to hide, It still haunts me

Wish I could be still still still
Learn to be still still still
Be still within that quiet place
Where I can see me face to face
Trust and surrender learn to let go
Free me from the shackles that bind me to ego
But still still still, I can't keep still
