Be Still Lyrics by Will Gardiner

Please Speak Softly

2021

[Verse 1]
When I was just a little boy
With no ambition but a brand new toy
I stumbled into Satan’s den
Well in truth I was led there by a friend
But in the night I felt the heat
It was something I don’t wish to repeat
And the lilacs smelled so sweet
And the lilacs smelled so sweet
[Refrain]
Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill
[Chorus]
I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to bе left alone
[Verse 2]
I walked unknowing with thе devil’s mark
But I knew enough to avoid the dark
But even now in the summer sun
As God Himself meets me one on one
I knew it was twisted up inside
With my heart and head and soul all tied
And I’ll never know why
And I’ll never know why
[Refrain]
Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill
[Chorus]
I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone
[Verse 3]
But even when I knew God was a lie
Or at least what He had wanted to try
I couldn’t calm down just the same
Life’s a bitch but it’s still a game
I looked and looked for the missing part
And I thought your touch would unlock my heart
But instead it made it all fall apart
But instead it made it all fall apart
[Refrain]
Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill
[Chorus]
I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone
[Verse 4]
The pain we feel transcends all time
But it doesn’t mean anything divine
So I’ll keep avoiding busy streets
And write my progress on a messy sheet
So they can know I got pretty far
And I’ll try not to jump in front of a car
Sometimes a scar is just a scar
Sometimes a scar is just a scar
[Refrain]
Be still be still be still
What could tomorrow kill
Be still be still be still
I think I’ve had my fill
[Chorus]
I’m increasingly aware of long falls and busy roads
I’m increasingly aware of the fragility of my bones
I drank and drank and drank until I felt like a rolling stone
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is to be left alone
