Slippery Slope Lyrics

When I wake I need to take the pill

Like I always will

Got the morning to kill now

Keeps me going ‘til the darkness comes

And the day is numbed

And I’m dead to thrills now

It ain’t heavy when the drugs kick in

You don’t feel anything

Like a flatlined zombie

You can be pleasant to the girl at work

She probably thinks I’m a jerk

But she don’t really know me

So long ago

That my mind can’t see when it changed

Wish I could let it go

But I can’t escape from the pain

A switch trips in my brain

Something I can’t explain

A slippery slope to go down

A tape loop in my head

That I can’t put to bed

A slippery slope to go down

It was desperate at the late night shop

It was a temporary stop while I considered my options

I could have joined them on the cider run

It seemed a lot of fun

To escape all your problems

I changed the goalposts cos I never scored

I tried to find the Lord in a book and a church downtown

But he’d already set his sights on me

And he would set me free

If I could only bow down

So long ago

That my mind can’t see when it changed

Wish I could let it go

But I can’t escape from the pain

A switch trips in my brain

Something I can’t explain

A slippery slope to go down

A tape loop in my head

That I can’t put to bed

A slippery slope to go down

I can’t believe that it’s true

You love somebody and it tears you in two

And I can’t stand to hear what happened to you

Cos when I do

A switch trips in my brain

Something I can’t explain

A slippery slope to go down

A tape loop in my head

That I can’t put to bed

A slippery slope to go down

The same scenes every day

That I have to replay

A slippery slope to go down

These visions of you

I don’t know what to do

A slippery slope to go down

To go down

To go down
