A Slow Life Lyrics

I heard you knock twice

Blurry you looked nice

So I let you in

Nothing in words before

We sat in back rows

Still like two mannequins

Alone with your book

You stared at your chucks

In my practice booth

Sore hands

With blood on the keys

I barely kept up

And yet you came to me

Now you are never coming back again

They said you fled

To find yourself and different friends

A slow life

No you are never coming back again

Because the darkness took you

Oversoon in death

In twilight

And there is a silence

A quiet violence

Where there was a song

You are unwell and gone

With our indifference

We just carry on

I was drunk when they came up to me

Remember so and so from university

Green eyes

Kept to herself

How could we have known

It was a cry for help

So you are never coming back again

They said you fled

To find yourself and different friends

A slow life

No you are never coming back again

Because the darkness took you

Oversoon in death

In twilight

No one to talk you off that ledge

In hindsite

Now you are never coming back again

Said you fled

To find yourself and different friends

A slow life

I pray you are resting

And this is simply

To say goodbye
