Slow Drowning - The Beloved

When we all agree

Will you take it gracefully?

And years from now

Will you be forgotten?

I take each day as it comes

But still I assume it’s all wrong

I remember me in my infancy

How strange to feel I was braver then

But still

So many harder things lie ahead of me

And I will

Not be swayed by your idiocy

Everything’s changed

Everyone’s gone

I’m all on my own

As I knew all along

And I remember now what I had meant to say

How strange to feel I was braver then

All I call my own

All I call myself

I have spent so long

Without the change I need

And if I think things through

It doesn’t seem too clear

As if there’s no importance

In the things I hold most dear
