[Verse 1]

I've known faces that have disappeared in time

Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime

All my friends have pictures made to make you cry

I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify


[Chorus]

(I ignore you)

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away

(I come toward you)

We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

(I ignore you)

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away

(I come toward you)

We all got left behind, we let it all slip away


[Verse 2]

I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face

I don't even try it

You had to be a liar just to infiltrate me

I'm still drowning


[Chorus]

(I ignore you)

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away

(I come toward you)

We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

(I ignore you)

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away

(I come toward you)

We all got left behind, we let it all slip away


[Bridge]

Take this away

Take this away

I can feel it on my mouth

I can taste you on my fingers

I can hear you like the Holy Ghost

And kill you if you get too close


[Chorus]

(I ignore you)

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away

(I come toward you)

We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

(I ignore you)

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away

(I come toward you)

We all got left behind, we let it all slip away


[Outro]

We let it all slip away

We let it all slip away

We let it all slip away

We let it all slip away

We let it all slip away

We let it all slip away
