===While I'm Still Here===
This is the original album version. A simplistic track, it is dominated by its quirky beat and staccato plucked string instruments. A busy bassline joins the ascending vocals in the verses, while the nearly spoken choruses are backed by a droning synth. After the second chorus, a sort of coda or bridge featuring a more complicated bassline and staccato baritone saxophone leads directly into "[[Black Noise]]."
===While I'm Still Here (Breyer P-Orridge 'Howler' Remix)===
This remix contains dialog snippets, presumably of Genesis and Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge. Unofficial transcription:
Beginning (probably Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge):
I'm, I'm limited by,
by time, by gravity.
Uhhm... by all these physical forces.
When... really I just uhh... I wish my consciousness
would be liberated completely free,
to go everywhere,
to be everywhere,
to do everything,
to be, to be everyone,
that I've ever dreamed of being.
Middle section (probably Genesis Breyer P-Orridge):
We do not believe in human feelings,
nor in human senses,
nor human needs,
human values,
human fears,
or even human hopes.
The only purpose or believe,
is the path from the mind to the brain,
path from the mind to the brain,
mind... to the brain,
This is a preset world, there are no secrets.
Ending (probably Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge):
I feel as though I found my soulmate.
Uhm I never feel, I never feel alone or lonely,
that's just something I don't experience
/ kind of feeling of alienation.
No matter how strange the world outside gets,
I know that there is someone that understands me.

==Lyrics==
Only thing I've ever done
Ticking time is running out
Closest I have ever come
Ticking time is running out
Oh so tired on my own
Ticking time is running out
Best days I have ever known
Ticking time is running out
Yesterday, I found out the world was ending
A little more
Every day
Falls apart
Slips away
Well I don't mind
I'm okay
Wish it didn't have to end this way
These four walls are closing in
Ticking time is running out
Oh all the things that might have been
Ticking time is running out
Watch young lovers walking by
Ticking time is running out
God forgive me if I cry
Ticking time is running out
A little more
Every day
Falls apart
Slips away
I don't mind
I'm okay
Nothing ever
Stays the same
While we can
Remember when
We always were
Yes, even then
Stay with me
Hold me near
While I'm still here
