lyrics

Slipping Away, Slipping Down (Crawford and Ives)

The ground beneath me isn’t solid
I feel unstructured and unstable
If only I were able
To cling on to something real

I’ve lost all my certainties
The things that defined me
When nothing’s fixed and nothing’s real
Every moment is surreal

Now becomes a chance to heal

I’d built castles made of sand
With foundations of false hope
Beliefs that couldn’t stand
I feel out of control
Like a man without a soul
Slipping away, Slipping Down

Shutting out suffering
Trying to paper over cracks
Now the papers rotting
And I have to face the facts

Now becomes a chance to heal.

Seeing my reality
In all its shades of grey
Questioning my morality
And the things I always say

Now becomes a chance to heal.

SOLO

Seeing my reality in shades of grey and lost
Morality is questioned, life once so embossed
To escape to free, to validate my life
Coming through history
Guiding my knife

I’d built castles made of sand
With foundations of false hope
Beliefs that couldn’t stand
I feel out of control
Like a man without a soul
Slipping away, Slipping Down
