Slow Don't Kill Me Slow

(album: Always Ascending - 2018)

Slow, don't take it slow when you put on that hat
That black velvet cap
Well, this is that long-due occasion you can wear it at
Don't send this invite back

Slow, don't kill me slow, don't kill me slow
No, never, never, no, don't kill me slow
No, never, never, kill me quick
Kill me quicker if you can, I cannot take it slow
Don't kill me slow

When you showed your executioner's cap to me
You put it on for me, said that I would see
You'd kill whatever sapped your love from me
So put it on for me, put it on again, oh

Slow, don't kill me slow, don't kill me slow
No, never, never, no, don't kill me slow
No, never, never, kill me quick
Kill me quicker if you can, I cannot take it slow
Don't kill me

Jump cut back to high-res time lapse
Seasons shift or pass
Maybe leaves then snow into still-life ripens
Stop-motion perishing
Feast of larvae explode
Blue dust shadow of mould

Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow
Slow
Slow
