The Slow Decay

[Intro]
Where do we go now?

[Verse 1]
I'm still trying to find the words
A quarter lifetime on
As if a pen and paper could restore
The greatest loss I've known
Every outline of you lingers in the door
Every cigarette a silhouette in ash
Drawn upon the floor
Remember how they told me
"You're too young to understand
You will shift just like the weather
As you grow into a man"
This I know

[Chorus]
My life has flashed before my eyes
And the days all seemed to pass me by
All the pain I earned and the love I lost
Was the only truth
This all will someday soon return to dust

[Post-Chorus]
Return to dust

[Verse 2]
And if we all go to hell
I'll find some peace where I dwell
I never thought there was more to this than met the eye
When I have no more to give
Surrender my right to live
We're only killing time 'til time kills us and we

[Bridge]
Decay together
We're not built to live forever

[Breakdown]
Content to shed my blissful ignorance
No fire, no light, an insignificant mistake

[Verse 2]
And if we all go to hell
I'll find some peace where I dwell
I never thought there was more to this than met the eye
When I have no more to give
Surrender my right to live
We're only killing time 'til time kills us

[Chorus]
My life has flashed before my eyes
And the days all seemed to pass me by
All the pain I earned and the love I lost
Was the only truth
This all will someday soon return to dust
