Another alibi
One more promise that I can’t keep
And who the hell am I
To lie here awake when the world’s asleep
But I’m not gonna let one more moon pass by
Where they’re telling me what to do
And I don’t ask why
They say that I’m doomed to repeat my past life
But I’m tellin you that I’m not gonna lose
Like the last time
You don’t know me
You don’t know me, no, I’ll pull through
I’ll keep on going
You don’t know me or what I can do
No I don’t want to die
No my soul won’t survive her grief
And if I saw him cry
I’d refuse to let my spirit leave
So I’m not gonna let one more moon pass by
Where I’m feeling the way I do
And I don’t ask why
I thought I was doomed to fall to the fast life
Now every second I’m gonna choose you
If I still have time
You don’t know me
You don’t know me, no, I’ll pull through
I’ll keep on going
Yeah
You don’t know me or what I can do
You don’t know me, no
You don’t know me, no, I’ll pull through
I’ll keep on going
Yeah
You don’t know me or what I can do
Rust harries the gears of the mighty clock tower
The sentry stands silent, watching and listening
Time lies in ashes, blowing and burning
Angels are kneeling with blood on their knees
Rot aches to reign in the mighty oak forest
But grace can be found where the wind is still whispering
Signs are all branches, twisted and turning
The great river follows and swallows the leaves
Where can we turn when the stars are all hiding
Where can we turn when the storm takes the sun
Are we allowed to come bathe in the twilight
Hope and faith boundless, for we’ve just begun
Songs rule the meadow at the edge of the city
There’s dew on the grass when our eyes meet the morning
Shadows are fading where greatness is forming
And nothing dare boil or spoil the seas
Where can we turn when the stars are all hiding
Where can we turn when the storm takes the sun
Are we allowed to come bathe in the twilight
All lies in faith now, for we’ve just begun

Da bomb music! Has been since you began! I share your vibes with anyone I meet.
Been listening to Slightly Stoopid for at least 20 years and thru dem I found Stick Figure. Truly grateful.
Sorry, no favorite track though... too many I thoroughly enjoy ✌🏼 Cadena24
