Half-Life is about a dwindling partnership between two people. The story is based off of the author's personal experiences in high school, where he needed "knights in shining armor" to come to his aid when he was bullied.
The version uploaded to SoundCloud was a demo, and has been taken down as of January 19, 2015.[1]
This song, as a B-side to Hard-Disk Hide and Seek, has been released as a single by Vocallective Records.
Lyrics[]
Stay still with me, my company,
and let’s just be still silently.
Stay still with me.
Why must it be the roots and leaves |
start falling to pieces when you leave
me? Ah… stay still with me.
The weather’s cold and the water’s
freezing, I need support ‘cause I can
not stand alone.
I’m waiting for the day the sun will
shine its rays…
I’m trembling, will you hold my hand
one more time?
They’re calling me out, I’m breaking
down now, I know I must be causing so
much grief when viewed.
Cutting away from thee, the tears go
straight to me, I’m trembling, would
you just leave and let me be?
But you came then, my only friend,
you saved me from my end…
Stay still with me, my company, and
let’s just be still silently.
Stay still with me.
Why must it be the roots and leaves
start falling to pieces when you leave
me? Ah… stay still with me.
The weather’s warm and I’ve started
burning, the town’s alarmed but not
doing a thing about it.
I’m left there in the flames with not a
single gaze I’m trembling, I’ve
really done it now this time.
But you came then my only friend and
put out the fire that had engulfed me.
But you came when I was to end, and
almost left again…
Stay still with me, my company, and
let’s just be still silently.
"Stay still with me."
Why must it be the roots and leaves
start falling to pieces when you leave
me? Ah… stay still with me.
Stay still with me.
Stay still with me.
Stay still with me….
Stay still with me.
Stay still with me.
