Slipping Away

Written by: Victor Swift


Feel the poison run through your veins
Feel it numbing your pains as it flows

Taste the toxins teasing your fears,
Hope that they dry up your tears like the sun

You can’t escape in a bottle
No matter how hard you try
The fire will die and
The angles will cry
The well you love will run dry…

Please search for strength tonight
Your life is slipping away, slipping away
Please bite your lip and fight
Cause it will all be okay
As long as you make it alright

Pull the blindfold over your eyes
Whisper comforting lies to yourself

Close the curtains and hide from the world
It’s not like anyone cares anymore

You can’t escape in a bottle
That’s just the way that things are
You once were a star
Now you’re only a scar
All that you’ve done has gone too far

Please search for strength tonight
Your life is slipping away, slipping away
Please bite your lip and fight
Cause it will all be okay
As long as you make it alright

All the hearts that you’ve broken
All the bridges you’ve burned
All the lies that you’ve spoken
Haven’t you learned?
Your words cut so deep, your punches cut too
Let your demons sleep, cause we still love you

Please search for strength tonight
Your life is slipping away, slipping away
Please bite your lip and fight
Cause it will all be okay
As long as you make it alright
