Slip Away

 

Born of the water

Born of the flame

This life is a monster

Don’t you know its name?

 

The house it is wooden

The house it is stone

The proud broken hearted

And close to the bone

 

Once you had a nightmare

And then it came to pass

Grey as the sky in the morning

Green as the grass covering a grave

 

Just a slip away

Just a slip away, mmmhmm

Just a slip away

 

Down to the water

Drawn to the flame

This life will leave you crippled

Don’t you know the game?

 

Once you woke up choking

But then you held it down

Dry as the sand in the desert

Black as the clouds covering the sun
