Slip

(album: Cosmic Thrill Seekers - 2019)

Held still by all the tomorrows
I caught you catching rainbows
Just living it, take what you get
Just kinda soak it in
While I'm stuck on someplace, somewhere over it

Pretending to sleep, don't bother talking to me
But these shaky knees and my ADHD
Give me away, hate being awake
So try and concentrate
If you don't move for long enough
I'm thinking you might just slip

Held still by all the tomorrows
I caught you catching rainbows
Just living it, take what you get
Just kinda soak it in
While I'm stuck on someplace, somewhere over it

A hole in my head
And it's infinitely black
Pulling me in
With no way to fight back
So I get to know him pretty well
Think he knows me, too

He says all my friends
Are so on to me
They catch me slipping
Into obscurity
Just please let me be

I'm sick of feeling small and I'm sick of feeling dumb
I'm sick of feeling every little thing that I've done wrong
Like when it hits you that you'll never be a stupid kid again
You really miss it, but your days all fade to grey
