Angus Montaigne - Still Lyrics

I've been balancing battling original sin
With running from karma like my life's depending on it
You say you've noticed i have trouble letting people in
My self-worth needs some questioning
Oh, friend
Where do i begin?

Still
Be still.

I've been so terrified to think someone could know me
Afraid of all the things that i thought might slow me
I want to move my feet, but i don't know how to dance
Will you show me?
I'm not keeping track of what i eat
Still searching for a cure for my itchy feet
Playing scattergories with myself to fall asleep

But i'm trying to be still
Be still
And fill the empty space with what makes your heart spill
It might test
Your will
You only win when you surrender
Still

I spent my youth in the shallows, afraid of the borders
Talking a big one, i was just a performer
But i'm trying real hard to be a reformer
Learning how to cope in the rising waters
Breathless, but i'm trying to turn the corner
Still flat-foot running
But i'm learning to be still

Still

It is a medicine for a serotonin fill
If it makes you so ill
Lay your arms upon the stone
And be still

Forgive yourself

Forgive yourself (in the silence is a healing)

Forgive yourself (don't rid yourself of feeling)

Forgive yourself
