Still Here, Still Waiting, Still Here

lyrics

Still here, still waiting, still here. Still here, still waiting, still here. I’ve walked along this bank of snow a thousand times, it had appeared and reappeared every year I walked to school outside. Not once did I or any of the kids I knew walk side by side with anybody they knew, always walking in single file in silence.

Still waiting, still here. The sun it rose a few feet up over the top of the ridge that spanned the height of land across the valley where red pines covered up the sky where the ravens sit on telephone poles and chimneys and huddled there in silence, waiting for something to run out of air, or for the garbage cans to be put out like they have for tens of thousands of years. Still waiting, still here.

Sometimes they’d call to each other “We’re still waiting, still here, still here.” They watched me go to school, looking for signs of fatigue. It was a deathly chill outside, nothing moved about me and all the air lost it’s vigour.

(It lay there suspended beneath the trail of children walking to school as they breathed out in vapour trails that dragged behind as they walked on paths on the snowbank Every skid in my town spends half their waking lives like this, walking alone to school in the winter that’s how we’ve become so quiet. We’ve spent too much time outside forgotten how to talk to figure out how long we’ve been outside. We’ve forgot what we do where we go where we’ve been ooh)...

Still here, still waiting, still here. Still here, still waiting, still here. Still here, still waiting, still here. Still here, still waiting, still here.
