Mark Lenover Frozen In Place Lyrics

Tell me a story I already know
Feed me your left-over gristle and bone
Angst is a hammer, I am a nail
I am a serpent devouring its tail
My greatest ambition is to stay the same
I live in the cross-hairs but well out of range
Routine is sacred and growth is profane
I'll make a great difference by staying the same

(Caught in)
Will you decide to serve your sentence in bed?
(your headlights)
Or will you escape into darkness instеad?
(frozen)
The world is shrinking so it looks like you'vе grown
(in place)
Death is a process and it's all that you know
(Maudlin)
Have you considered the ravages of time?
(such sad eyes)
Are you its victim or its partner in crime?
(so hopeless)
Is it the way we measure cause and effect?
Is it a reflection or does it reflect?

I cling to my boredom, I'm governed by fear
I won't go the distance, ‘cause I belong here I might grow older, but I'll never change
Timid and dormant and comfortably strange
Draw me a circle and call it a map
Call me a puzzle and fill in the gaps
I am a landmark, I'm fixed in place
I'll meet you tomorrow where I stand today

(Caught in)
Are you retreating or rooted to the spot?
(your headlights)
Do you define yourself by what you are not?
(frozen)
Will you tell us when you've suffered enough?
(in place)
Is there anything you're not frightened of?
(Maudlin)
Are you prepared to embrace what you've become?
(such sad eyes)
A living shadow, petrified of the sun
(so hopeless)
You only exist where the sun never shines
So used to darkness you can't see that you're blind

Baby, I want to stay where I belong
Yeah baby, I'm rooted to the spot
