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)
Coming soon.
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 Watch young lovers walking by Ticking time's running out God forgive me if I cry 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 me near While I'm still here
