Slowly - Pridelands

You’ve gone and made a mess upon your neon wired dress again

And I’ve spent my time drifting in and out

Of all of this like a spider’s web

So elegantly

How could I rectify

Though not for lack of trying any of the callous moves I’ve ever made?

It seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else

Again and again

If only you’d feel the cold-bloodedness through my hands

We could wrestle out of this

We could cut through all the strands of the DNA you left on the sheets

But it seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else

Go ahead and run away so I can go and blame myself

I blame myself for this

Do you panic when the wind blows?

Are you scared of your friends?

Is it too late to ask if it’s all just pretend?

'Cause I feel like a stranger inside of this skin

I’ll never let anyone, anyone in

Like a leech, I will bond to your side

Soak the liquid from your limbs, and release

But it seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else

Go ahead and run away so I can go and blame myself

I blame myself for this

And so I’ll recede into a new body

Fake a new smile everyday

Try a little harder to decay, slowly

And slowly I’ll sing, drive myself into madness

Holding tightly to my faith

Push a little harder, let it drain slowly

Try a little harder to decay, slowly

And slowly I’ll sing, drive myself into madness

Holding tightly to my faith

Push a little harder, let it drain

Like a leech, I will bond to your side

Soak the liquid from your limbs, and release
