Stopping The World Lyrics

Like a child
taken under a wing
on this night
we've built a statue
to relieve our suffering
So I'll dance to the finger of
our new found king
The one who will
solve everything
But there's just this
lingering feeling

Why isn't this happening?
Why is this happening?
Why isn't this happening?
Why is this happening?

So jump off the deep end
and let yourself go
Open up wide
in it will flow
A relieving love like surrender
Abandoning this impermanence
This meaningless
Envelop me in this
Stopping the world
from this a light to find the truth

It took seven days to make
to make seven ways to take
It takes seven sins
to crawl within
and making everything that little bit harder
So that the angles seem that much more clear 'cos you'll always need another
end of the pole to tell you where exactly,
where exactly the middle is
You'll keep bumping against the wall
and rolling around
The closer you'll be to
finally be found

Why isn't this happening?
Why is this happening?
Why isn't this happening?
Why is this happening?

So jump off the deep end
and let yourself go
Open up wide
in it will flow
A relieving love like surrender
Abandoning this impermanence
This meaningless
Envelop me in this
Stopping the world
from this line to find the truth

This is when you know you're at the valley
Your shadow sings death
Stop the world
Stop the world
It'll give you seven more reasons
to live through four more seasons.
