===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

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."

Lyrics

   Only thing I've ever done
   Ticking time is running out
   Closes I have ever come
   Ticking time is running out
   Oh so tired on my own
   Ticking time is running out
   Best day I have ever known
   Ticking time is running out
   
   Yesterday, I found out the world was ending
   
   A little more
   Ever day
   Falls apart
   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 is running out
   Oh all the things that might have been
   Ticking time is running out
   Watch young lovers walking by
   Ticking time is running out
   God forgive me if I cry
   Ticking time is running out
   
   A little more
   Ever day
   Falls apart
   Slips away
   I don't mind
   I'm okay
   Nothing ever
   Stays the same
   While we can
   Remember when
   We always were
   Yes, even then
   Stay with me
   Hold me near
   While I'm still here
