Lyrics Slow Motion Suicide - Kerry Livgren

Slow Motion Suicide

Have you looked at yourself, is the image true
Will it look the same when it all comes down on you?
Is the altered state what you’re meant to be
Do you still prefer a twisted reality?
Now I can see your spirit is dying
And life goes on, but still you’re denying
The healing hand that seeks to restore you
Don’t turn away, two paths are before you
Don’t play with slow motion suicide
You throw your life away each day with cold emotion
Slow motion suicide
And it will cost you more that you can ever pay
When your vision is clear, you can see for a mile
If your ears can hear, belief will change your style
Are you barely alive, is your conscience aware?
If you’re lookin' for life, you just won’t find it there
Now I can see your spirit is dying
And life goes on, but still you’re denying
The healing hand that seeks to restore you
Don’t turn away, two paths are before you
Don’t play with slow motion suicide
You throw your life away each day with cold emotion
Slow motion suicide
And it will cost you more that you can ever pay
«Better eat and drink, for tomorrow we die»
Such a sad refrain, the creed that you live by
You’re just living a lie
But you gotta get high, 'cause it makes you forget
So you take it again, you take all that you can get
Now I can see your spirit is dying
And life goes on, but still you’re denying
The healing hand that seeks to restore you
Don’t turn away, two paths are before you
Don’t play with slow motion suicide
You throw your life away each day with cold emotion
Slow motion suicide
And it will cost you more that you can ever pay
