Stop

Always running from the clouds
Trying to cheat on day and night
Turn the quiet into loud
When there's no one else in sight
Need some time just standing still
Just one blink and I'll be old
Can I set aside the thrill
And be free to break this mould
I need to feel the could of
Shadows running free
And to touch the pain
The pain of being broken
To cry before the fingers turn around to me
And to feel this hurt before it's spoken
Stop stay for long enough to count the cost
Stop come to dwell not just to watch
I've put a stop lock on my heart
For my own security
I'm parking where the lights are bright
So no one here can get to me
Empty spaces in this town
Shout their invite loud and clear
Could I make this quantum leap
From being tourist and live here
