Still We Try - Elise Testone

Gone embers shine down on your face

You make sure every thing is in place

Though watching you with the thousand eyes

An actor at his best all day

He doesn’t hear a word you say

Let him tempt you with his smiles

I’m starting to feel like I’m mislead

Find me a place to lay my head

Still we try to stand

Still we fall

Sometimes walking does no good at all

Tried to work it on out

Follow your shadow like a damn fool

And oh, they’ll always get too close to you

Tried to work it on out

You’re passing back and forth and blue

Forgetting everything you knew

Why don’t you take a look around?

You know their story oh so well

In 30 seconds time you’ll tell

That you’ve walked this ground

I’m starting to feel like I’m mislead

Find me a place to lay my head

Still we try to stand

Still we fall

Sometimes walking does no good at all

Tried to work it on out

Yeah, you follow your shadow like a damn fool

And oh, they’ll always get the best of you

Tried to work it on out

Believing you’re achieving good

Forgetting … place you stood

Still they always look so proud

Don’t you let them wear you down, down, down, down

Try to stand

Still we fall

Sometimes walking does no good at all

Tried to work it on out, yeah!

Follow your shadow like a damn fool

And oh, they’ll always get too close to you

Tried to work it on out

We all start to feel satisfied

Though we can’t, can’t find in a lie, no

But still we try
