So Slow

Guitar intro

Verse 1

My head feels heavy.

I wake in my clothes.

The air is thick.

And my boots feel like lead.

I cannot move.

I cannot move at all.

They weigh down the floor.

And I can’t reach the door.

Verse 2

Stepping into the hall.

Wallpaper at the front porch.

A hollow, sickly feeling.

The phone line is dead.

There's no sound to hear.

Nothing to hear at all.

I try to speak.

But I feel old and weak.

Instrumental intermezzo

Chorus

The ground feels soft.

It pulls at my knees.

I’m walking through mud.

(Deep in the mud)

The years are a tide.

They wash us away.

Ohh, we’re sinking.

We're sinking so slow.

And nowhere to go.

Verse 3

I saw you today.

Behind the glass pane.

You waved your pale hand.

I reached for the latch.

The metal was frozen.

We spoke through a wall.

But the words turned to ash.

With a thud and a crash.

Instrumental intermezzo

Bridge

I remember us run.

Across the wide field.

Light on our faces.

Light were our feet.

And the air was so sweet.

Now gravity defies us.

It drinks up our strength.

It drinks it all up.

Chorus

And the ground feels soft.

It pulls at my knees.

I’m walking through mud.

(Deep in the mud)

The years are a tide.

They wash us away.

Ohh, we’re sinking.

We're sinking so slow.

And nowhere to go.

So slow.

So slow.
