[Verse 1]
You say
“Relax”
Like it’s that easy
Like my chest
Isn’t wired to a timer
Every breath
Measured in inches
Every word
Taste of iron
[Chorus]
Slowly
I’m slipping out the frame
You keep on calling my name
Like that can save me
Slowly
I’m hanging by a vein
You say it’s all in my brain
But it still breaks me
Slowly
You watch me fade to gray
Hands in your pockets
You stay
Right there
Safely
Slowly
I disappear from view
I disappear from you
So slow it’s ugly
[Verse 2]
You talk in calm
Clinical phrases
“Take a walk
Try to think clearer”
But this room
Tilts on the edges
Every thought
Cuts like a mirror
[Chorus]
Slowly
I’m slipping out the frame
You keep on calling my name
Like that can save me
Slowly
I’m hanging by a vein
You say it’s all in my brain
But it still breaks me
Slowly
You watch me fade to gray
Hands in your pockets
You stay
Right there
Safely
Slowly
I disappear from view
I disappear from you
So slow it’s ugly
[Bridge]
Tell me this is nothing
Say it straight into my face
I’ll lean into every syllable
Let it scrape
[Chorus]
Slowly
I’m slipping out the frame
You keep on calling my name
Like that can save me
Slowly
I’m hanging by a vein
You say it’s all in my brain
But it still breaks me
Slowly
You watch me fade to gray
Hands in your pockets
You stay
Right there
Safely
Slowly
I disappear from view
I disappear from you
So slow it’s lovely (how?)
So slow it’s ugly
