Slipping
I don't understand your words anymore
How they slide past my ears and sink through the floor
I grasp them with fingers on nothing but air
If I read them I'd know how to keep myself here
Just a moment
I'll forget
Just a moment
And I'll slip
Just a moment
To lose grip
Just a moment
And I'll slip
I don't remember my face anymore
What colour my eyes when I met you before
I slide them unfocused and stare into space
If I don't blink I'd know how to stick to this place
Just a moment
I'll forget
Just a moment
And I'll slip
Just a moment
To unhinge
Just a moment
And I'll slip
I envy the fragment who'll slide in behind
If I'm shaking I'll know how to keep it all mine
I don't inhabit this skin anymore
Who wears it tomorrow is who you'll adore
I envy the fragment who'll slide in behind
If I'm shaking I'll know how to keep it all mine
Just a moment
I'll forget
I'm scrabbling at ice
Slide life to life
Just a moment
And I'll slip
I don't understand your words anymore
How they slide past my ears and sink through the floor
I grasp them with fingers on nothing but air
If I read them I'd know how to keep myself here
Just a moment
I'll forget
Just a moment
And I'll slip
Just a moment
To lose grip
Just a moment
And I'll slip
