Slip Away

Slip away Fall out of sleep Dream into wakefulness Try to avoid That pain is real Emotions don’t leave But they’re never really there It slumbers It’s in the back of your head like cancer Slip away 'cause all I can do is slip away To a place where I can’t feel I feel so much worse today I wonder if good things are real And nothing really matters I’m not even here It doesn’t really matter how it seems I’m a smiling image Of what I’ve never been Slip away
