Standstill

If there’s such a thing
As free will
I guess you could say
We are volunteering
Before it begins (if there’s such a thing)
It is over - still
Away we go
You never know
I thought we all ran on a treadmill
I thought it all went down the same hill
I didn’t know things could come to a standstill
Felt like everything
Was in ink
When there’s no need to think
About every feeling
Still I got my teeth into it
Might have been overkill
Thought you just had to choose
Thought that’s what people do
But it was like bringing a knife to gun fight
I made decisions without visions for the life you and I were living
I took it all as a given because
I thought we all ran on a treadmill
I thought it all went down the same hill
I didn’t know things could come to a standstill
I thought we all ran on a treadmill
I thought it all went down the same hill
I didn’t know things could come to a standstill
to a standstill
to a standstill
to a standstill
to a standstill
I thought we all ran on a treadmill
I thought it all went down the same hill
I didn’t know things could
I didn’t know things could
I thought we all ran on a treadmill
I thought it all went down the same hill
I didn’t know things could come to a standstill
to a standstill
to a standstill
to a standstill
to a standstill
