Slippery Slope from 50 Songs by Shane Cooley

Slippery Slope

Skylines fly by in the back of my lost mind
Old dreams slip by unnoticed
In the real world I’m not myself
I’m barely here
In the real world I’m not myself
I can barely hear you

And it’s a slippery slope
It’s a slippery slope that I’m coasting on

Storm clouds brew and brood
In the back of my lost mind
Lightning fast visions and vague premonitions
Of gale-forced sighs
And the backbeat of my brain
And my pulse keep time
Steady as the rising sun
It helps me get through those hard nights

And it’s a slippery slope
It’s a slippery slope that I’m coasting on
It’s a slippery slope that I’m ghosting on

It’s seriously no joke that everything is broken
Can’t keep my focus
I hope you didn’t notice
But I still know you did

It’s a slippery slope that I’m coasting on
It’s a slippery slope that I’m ghosting on
It’s a slippery slope that I’m coasting on
It’s a slippery slope I’ll be ghosting on
