Slow Down

(album: Winter Forever - 2011)

You still know authentic me
All I know now is the chemicals pulsating
You don't agree
You promise we all get lost at some point some way
Yeah but the season has changed, fall has fallen away
And now I'm stuck in this infinite dream
Screaming in my sleep of how more than anything
I need your beautiful slow down

You instruct to cut it out, I say cut one, cut all
But a day will fly on by
And I'll take a deep breath like I never held it at all

Drag me out into the rain, tell me all about the pain
I've been causing and the way it all makes sense with the weather
Tell me he ain't coming back and no synthetic distraction
Will ever change the fact, nor make it any better
I'll reply by walking out, illustrate the then and now
Leave you broken like you've been left
By the ones that you love most
No, I am more lost than you could know

You remember my face
Back when it was pure and sober
Back when my bones were more adequately covered
So you say you won't stop until
You've nursed me back to me
And I'll remain someone else
But still admit that more than anything
I need your beautiful slow down

Drag me out into the rain, tell me all about the pain
I've been causing and the way it all makes sense with the weather
Tell me he ain't coming back and no synthetic distraction
Will ever change the fact, nor make it any better
I'll reply by walking out, illustrate the then and now
Leave you broken like you've been left
By the ones that you love most
No, I am more lost than you could know
(You'll never change that)

I've been hard at work on my spine
It's where I've directed all my time
To rid these wings itching to fly
They grow, they grow, I try, I try

Drag me out into the rain, tell me all about the pain
I've been causing and the way it all makes sense with the weather
Tell me he ain't coming back and no synthetic distraction
Will ever change the fact, nor make it any better
I'll reply by walking out, illustrate the then and now
Leave you broken like you've been left
By the ones that you love most
No, I am more lost than you could know
(You'll never change that)
