Slipping Away

Have you ever watched the light go out in the eyes of the living?

Ever heard the undying plea of a dying man?

Help me rise again…

Live again,

Love again.



When there is no one to blame

You take it out on yourself

And there’s no one to go to

Nowhere to run to

And nothing to make you hold on

To life,

To you.



Have you ever seen the sun setting in the south?

Ever felt the air slipping away,

From you?

From me?

From our existence?



When there is no one to blame

You take it out on yourself

And there’s no one to go to

Nowhere to run to

And nothing to make you hold on

To life,

To you.



When there’s no hope for all to come back

There won’t be a shred for us to hang on

We slide away



From me…

From you…

From our existence.



When there is no one to blame

You take it out on yourself

And there’s no one to go to

Nowhere to run to

And nothing to make you hold on
