Lyrics
Slowly (Oh so Slowly)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the veil between the world and the faceless bride
there’s nothing yet but a bunch of white
oh, potential, you’re a loaded line
tomorrow, well, i'll wait for you
laying right here, floating in this swimming pool
there’s a lot of things i got left to do
oh, tomorrow, i'll wait for you
the days keep slipping down into the cracks
it takes a while to realize where you’re at
slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly), slowly, it’s slowly ending
dementia, you better treat me good
the human race is it, it’s like a childhood
i never learned what i understood
oh, dementia, you better treat me good
sometimes, i need a place to go
classical music plays from my radio
i sit real still, let my shadow grow
yeah, sometimes, i need a place to go
my mind keeps slipping back into the past
i hope someday that i can get it back
slowly [so slowly], slowly [so slowly], slowly, it’s slowly ending [so slowly]
slowly [so slowly], slowly [so slowly], slowly, it’s slowly ending
and soon that train is gonna pull away, i hear it whistling
i try to wave at a boy's face, they can’t tell who i am
slowly [so slowly], slowly [so slowly], slowly, it’s slowly ending
