A Slow Decent
Straylight Run

I'm tired.

Cynical and broken, but wiser.

Heavy with a sense of resentment,

But I used to be so much different,

I used to have so much faith

When I started.

You knew that I always meant it.

I knew I could make a difference,

I struggled to be heard

And then finally, one day people started listening.

And I knew it

But as soon as it began it was ruined.

A slow descent from unique to routine,

Over and over,

just do it again and this time with feeling.

The spotlight.

The focus on the friends and the feelings.

That made those stupid songs all worth singing.

So don't you say a word

Unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed.

So we drove

For what seemed like days

Over roads

And four lane highways.

We said all we had to say

And I realized in time that it didn't mean anything.

So we drove

For what seemed like days

Over roads

And four lane highways.

We said all we had to say

And I realized in time that it didn't mean anything.

Anything!

Never,

It's only a matter of time

Not ever again.

It's only a matter of time

Not like that.

It's only a matter of time.
