Slipping Away
Embracing the Precipice
Lyrics
So here we are again my so called friend
Reflecting on a recurring situation with someone considered a friend
On the count of three go ahead and burn this bridge
Inviting the friend to intentionally end their relationship
As we look over we'll discover
Observing the consequences as they approach a critical point
We're slowly getting closer to the edge
Sensing a gradual approach towards a risky situation or decision
Can you feel it all? (slipping away)
Questioning the tangible loss of something significant
Can you feel the ground? (giving away)
Noticing the foundation or support deteriorating
So here we are 'till you lose control
Being present until the point of losing control
I hope you're on your own when it starts to slip
Expressing a desire for the person to face consequences alone
I won't fake this for another wasted
Refusing to pretend for another missed opportunity
Chance to be the last person to know
Missing out on being informed as a significant development unfolds
'Cause I'm finding out nothing's a secret now
Realizing that no information is kept confidential
So this message is ready to be sent
Confirming readiness to communicate a message
Can you feel it all? (slipping away)
Sensing a continued loss of something valuable
Can you feel the ground? (giving away)
Perceiving the gradual collapse of a support system
So here we are 'till you lose control
Being present until the point of losing control (repeated)
I hope you're on your own when it starts to slip
Desiring the person to face consequences alone (repeated)
So here we are 'till you lose control
Being present until the point of losing control (repeated)
I hope you're on your own when it starts to slip away
Desiring the person to face consequences alone as things slip away
Can you feel it all? (slipping away)
Questioning the tangible loss of something significant (repeated)
Can you feel the ground? (giving away)
Noticing the foundation or support deteriorating (repeated)
So here we are 'till you lose control
Being present until the point of losing control (repeated)
I hope you're on your own when it starts to slip
Desiring the person to face consequences alone (repeated)
Can you feel it all? (slipping away)
Questioning the tangible loss of something significant (repeated)
Can you feel the ground? (giving away)
Noticing the foundation or support deteriorating (repeated)
So here we are 'till you lose control
Being present until the point of losing control (repeated)
I hope you're on your own when it starts to slip
Desiring the person to face consequences alone as things slip away (repeated)
