The Slow Decay

[00:09.96] Where do we go now?
[00:13.82]
[00:21.32] I'm still trying to find the words
[00:24.43] A quarter lifetime on
[00:27.15] As if a pen and paper could restore
[00:30.70] The greatest loss I've known
[00:33.61] Every outline of you lingers in the door
[00:37.94] Every cigarette, a silhouette in ash
[00:41.60] Drawn upon the floor
[00:43.54] Remember how they told me
[00:45.62] "You're too young to understand
[00:48.77] You will shift just like the weather
[00:51.11] As you grow into a man"
[00:53.83] This I know
[00:56.72] My life has flashed before my eyes
[01:02.23] And the days all seemed to pass me by
[01:07.51] All the pain I earned and the love I lost
[01:12.95] Was the only truth
[01:15.68] This all will someday soon return to dust
[01:21.46]
[01:27.70] Return to dust
[01:32.64]
[01:40.68] And if we all go to hell
[01:43.38] I'll find some peace where I dwell
[01:46.05] I never thought there was more to this than met the eye
[01:51.44] When I have no more to give
[01:54.09] Surrender my right to live
[01:56.74] We're only killing time 'til time kills us
[02:01.21] And we...
[02:03.96]
[02:07.59] Decay together
[02:10.05] We're not built to live forever
[02:14.57]
[02:23.72] Content to shed
[02:26.52] My blissful ignorance
[02:30.54] No fire, no light
[02:32.38] An insignificant mistake
[02:37.05]
[02:56.14] And if we all go to hell
[02:58.88] I'll find some peace where I dwell
[03:01.54] I never thought there was more to this than met the eye
[03:06.94] When I have no more to give
[03:09.59] Surrender my right to live
[03:12.39] We're only killing time 'til time kills us
[03:17.05] My life has flashed before my eyes
[03:22.44] And the days all seemed to pass me by
[03:27.81] All the pain I earned and the love I lost
[03:33.23] Was the only truth
[03:35.96] This all will someday soon return to dust
[03:39.53]
