Slip Away -

I’ve been inflicted

With this disease

I call you

No surprise

I’ve been misdirected

Because I sometimes feel you

I used to be much more

I used to know you

I can’t remember what it’s like

To be somebody else’s reason

I can’t put that away

Out of my head

I can’t stop thinking about what it’s like

To be somebody else and see me

And know that they don’t need me

And watch me slip away

I seem less connected

With my dreams

I see you

You take control of me

Knowing that I’ve wasted

It all just to feel you

And I will be much more

Because I’ve known you

I don’t like the way you see me

Manipulate and try to use me

Now you’ve lost, you can’t be near me

You just watch me, just watch me slip away
