[Verse 1: Oddisee]
Flipping through the channels night gives way to analyzing
Mistakes I made in light I contemplate with closing eyelids
Loudest when I'm quiet 'cause my life was built in silence
My wins in black and white but it's my sins that come in vibrant
Color me down bad, stuck in my head
Toss in my bed, cover my troubles
But I am a pilot what is ahead edge or a ledge
Come up and fall off, stumble or roll off
The episode has ended still ain't much to go off
[Chorus: Debórah Bond]
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
It's the night time that always leaves me with these thoughts
Within thе darkest of the hours spiraling deep into my mind
And oh no! Therе ain't no place to go
[Verse 2: Oddisee]
Who knows the reasons we go through these seasons
Coping with grievance leaves us open to be roped by demons
My own misleading I found hope in being hope believing
That people seeing my achievements wouldn't know I'm pleading
Mercy oh mercy I feel nothing until it hurts me
I feel numb from all the dumb things I did trying to feel worthy
Was I bleeding, was I thirsty something's leaving what dispersed me
Turn my TV on and I feel something lurking (Yeah, yeah)
I'm in the process of making myself and my artistry one in the same
It's really hard when you in your heart
And your logic don't want it to change
I make a deposit and hope I can profit a feeling or personal gain
Into the darkness letting the clock tick, working through the pain
[Chorus: Debórah Bond]
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
It's the night time that always leaves me with these thoughts
Within the darkest of the hours spiraling deep into my mind
And oh no! There ain't no place to go
[Bridge: Debórah Bond]
It gets me every time
It gets me every time
Deep within my mind
Deep in to the night
It gets me every time
Every time
[Chorus: Debórah Bond]
Slippin', slippin', slippin'
It's the night time that always leaves me with these thoughts
Within the darkest of the hours spiraling deep into my mind
And oh no! There ain't no place to go
