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."

Lyrics

  Only thing I've ever done
  Ticking time's running out
  Closest I've ever come
  Ticking time's running out
  
  Oh so tired on my own
  Ticking time's running out
  Best days I've ever known
  Ticking time's running out
  
  Yesterday I found out the world was ending
  Yesterday I found out the world was ending
  
  A little more
  Every day
  Falls apart and
  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's running out
  Oh all the things that might have been
  Ticking time's running out
  
  Once young love is fucking back
  Ticking time's running out
  God forgive me if I tried
  Ticking time's running out
  
  A little more
  Every day
  Falls apart and
  Slips away yeah
  I don't mind
  I'm okay
  Nothing ever
  Stays the same well
  
  While we can
  Remember when
  Always were here
  Even then
  Stay with me
  Hold my near
  
  While I'm still here

While I'm Still Here (Breyer P-Orridge 'Howler' Remix)
