The Slip lyrics

Kind of hard
Hard to see
When you crawl
On your hands and your knees
With your face
In the trough
Wait your turn
While they finish you off
Don't know when it started
Don't know how
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines
On my face
After all this time
And I still haven't found my place

I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away

[instrumental]

[instrumental]

It keeps growing
And I can feel it breathe
I have been trying
To behave myself
It keeps growing
And I can feel it breathe
I have been trying
To tolerate you

Well I am reaching the point
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I thought maybe
I thought this would go away
But it continues
The only constant
Every day
Stronger

I will use my voice
And I will use my fist
To destroy
Everything I can

Am I - Am I still tough enough?
Feels like I'm wearing down, down, down, down, down
Is my viciousness,
Losing ground, ground, ground, ground, ground?
Am I taking too much?
Did I cross the line, line, line?
I need my role in this
Very clearly defined

I need your discipline,
I need your help
I need your discipline,
You know once I start I cannot help myself

And now it's starting up,

Nice and high and far apart
Just like they said
I built this place with broken parts
Just like they said
You chip away the old version of you
You'd be surprised at what you can do
I'm safe in here and will
Just like they said

My voice just echoes off these walls
My voice just echoes off these walls

You feel me breathe, I am watching you
I see it all
The many ways you can get to me

you
what you looking at?
head down
too late for that
what you want
what you get
know your place
don't ever forget

and this is not my face
and this is not my life
and there is not a single thing here
i can recognize
this is all a dream
and none of you are real
i'll give anything
i'll give anything

hey you
what you running from?
all your hate
what you've become
bet you didn't thing

The sky is painted black
The smoke pours out the stack
One hand upon your heart
One hand behind your back
You train us how to act
You keep the fear intact
The imminent attack
Everything is right on track

And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away with it

Upon our plates to feed
The dying left to bleed
How much we really need
Your politics of greed
The cancer takes ahold

She's mostly gone,
some other place.
I'm getting by,
in other ways.

Everything they whispered in our ears,
is coming true.
Try to justify the things,
I used to do.
Believe in you.

Watching you drown.
I follow you down.
I am here,
right beside you.

The lights in the sky
finally arrive.
I am staying,
right beside you.

I tried to stay away,
just in case.
I've come to realize,

[instrumental]
