:: slipping (lyrics)

i don’t understand your words anymore
how they slide past my ears and sink through the floor
i grasp them with fingers on nothing but air
if i read them i'd know how to keep myself here

just a moment
i'll forget
just a moment
and i'll slip
just a moment
to lose grip
just a moment
and i’ll slip

i don’t remember my face anymore
what colour my eyes when i met you before

i don’t remember my face anymore
what colour my eyes when i met you before
i slide them unfocused and stare into space
if i don’t blink i'd know how to stick to this place

just a moment
i'll forget
just a moment
and i'll slip
just a moment
to unhinge
just a moment
and i'll slip

i envy the fragment who’ll slide in behind
if i'm shaking i'll know how to keep it all mine

i don’t inhabit this skin anymore
who wears it tomorrow is who you’ll adore
i envy the fragment who’ll slide in behind
if i'm shaking i'll know how to keep it all mine

just a moment
i'll forget
i'm scrabbling at ice
slide life to life
just a moment
and i'll slip

i don’t understand your words anymore
how they slide past my ears and sink through the floor
i grasp them with fingers on nothing but air
if i read them i'd know how to keep myself here

just a moment
i'll forget
just a moment
and i'll slip
just a moment
to lose grip
just a moment
and i’ll slip
