Lyrics
The Slip
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.
If when running from the flood
It overtakes you.
Crushed by slow waterfalls and such
The ocean breaks you.
Let go of everything you know
And love and fear
Let go of everything you know
And disappear.
If you've been rolling with a crowd
Who want to save you
And all you want is to forget
Every speech they gave you.
Let go of everything you know
And love and fear
Let go of everything you know
And disappear.
If you disappear without a trace:
a.)They won't give chase.
b.)No hearts will break.
c.)As some must do.
d.)Take me with you.
