Dripping Slow

Verse 1

Silver key

Cold lock

Turned it fast and then I ran

Down the gravel path

Heaving

Empty bowls on the tile

Dry

Silent dust in the sunlight

Watching through the glass

One eye amber

One eye green

Waiting

Chorus

Stay alive

Please just stay alive

I left the faucet dripping slow

I left my sweater on the floor

Stay alive

Stay alive

Stay alive

Verse 2

Hunger grows

Heavy shadow

Creeping up the drywall

Will you hunt the moths

Tiny teeth

Maybe rain will leak through

Underneath the rotten frame

Scratching at the wood

Harder

Sharp claws tearing fabric

I can't go back

Not today

Not ever

Chorus

Stay alive

Please just stay alive

I left the faucet dripping slow

I left my sweater on the floor

Stay alive

Stay alive

Stay alive

Bridge

Maybe you'll sleep

Maybe you'll dream

Maybe you'll forget my face

The way I walked

The way I talked

The way I let you down

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Winter wind

Broken heater

Huddled in a ball of fur

Fighting for the heat

Shaking

Licking drops from the copper

Drinking from the dark

Salt air

Stale air

Breathe

Chorus

Stay alive

Please just stay alive

I left the faucet dripping slow

I left my sweater on the floor

Stay alive

Stay alive

Stay alive

Outro

Nine lives

Give me one more

Nine lives

Give me one more

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind
