Slip Away

from Dogged by Slender Gems

lyrics

found you waiting when i first was led astray that's when you showed me to embrace the masquerade from the alley where i once was baptized in the shadows that corrode my insides i once believed that you would soon conceive some truth from inside you that would ease the spirit you subdue but i can't accomodate a shell so fragile makes me wonder if it all was worthwhile i can't be a sullen protege dodging bullets from the ricochet when they shoot you down i won't be around to mend your mangled ego i think that we know now we were never meant to co-inhabit the cloud that condemned you can't defend you in a state of disarray see me slip away motion sickness when i peer into the kaleidoscope of deprivation that seeps through you fanning flames that supply your rage from the chemicals contained within a self-made cage flimsy walls fall in the palace that you built beneath a canopy of guilt where you wither and you wilt you're alone on the throne with a broken smile and it resonates the imitation of your style i can't be a sullen protege dodging bullets from the ricochet when they shoot you down i won't be around to mend your mangled ego i think that we know now we were never meant to co-inhabit the cloud that condemned you can't defend you tangled up in disarray see me slip away can't pretend i never hoped for better days when you would realize the strength to alleviate but i can't make it here any longer biding my time only makes it stronger i can't be a sullen protege dodging bullets from the ricochet when they shoot you down i won't be around to mend your mangled ego i think that we know now we were never meant to co-inhabit the cloud that condemned you can't pretend to say i did not want to stay but see me slip away
