The Slow Decay |
| A quarter lifetime on |
| As if a pen and paper could restore |
| The greatest loss I’ve known |
| Every outline of you lingers in the door |
| Every cigarette a silhouette in ash |
| Drawn upon the floor |
| Remember how they told me |
| «You're too young to understand |
| You will shift just like the weather |
| As you grow into a man» |
| This I know |
| My life has flashed before my eyes |
| And the days all seemed to pass me by |
| All the pain I earned and the love I lost |
| Was the only truth |
| This all will someday soon return to dust |
| Return to dust |
| And if we all go to hell |
| I’ll find some peace where I dwell |
| I never thought there was more to this than met the eye |
| When I have no more to give |
| Surrender my right to live |
| We’re only killing time 'til time kills us and we |
| Decay together |
| We’re not built to live forever |
| Content to shed my blissful ignorance |
| No fire, no light, an insignificant mistake |
| And if we all go to hell |
| I’ll find some peace where I dwell |
| I never thought there was more to this than met the eye |
| When I have no more to give |
| Surrender my right to live |
| We’re only killing time 'til time kills us |
| My life has flashed before my eyes |
| And the days all seemed to pass me by |
| All the pain I earned and the love I lost |
| Was the only truth |
| This all will someday soon return to dust |
