Lyrics

You're a soul with no religion

You lack a defined set of beliefs or principles for your soul.

There's ice in your embrace

Your embrace is cold and distant.

In your dance of indecision

You engage in a hesitant and uncertain dance.

I see the anger in yor face

I can perceive anger in your expression.

A little drink to help my vision

I consume a drink to alter my perception.

A little something for the pain

I take something to alleviate my pain.

There's no drug for my condition

No substance can cure my current state.

There's no sweetness in the taste.

There is no joy or satisfaction in the experience.


Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you

Where will your actions and choices lead you?

Do I have to pay to be your friend?

Must I provide something valuable to maintain our friendship?

There's nothing left to say

There's nothing more to be said.

When you slipped away.

You departed or changed without notice.


I can see you fading fast

I observe you fading away quickly.

I won't let you take me

I won't allow you to negatively impact me.

When you slipped away

You slipped away, and I can't prevent it.

I can see your burning stare

I notice the intensity in your gaze.

Nothing's gonna shake me

Nothing will disturb or unsettle me.

As you slip away

You're slipping away, and I'm unaffected.


You're a world of blind ambition

You're driven by a relentless pursuit of success.

Staring through the looking glass

You're looking at life with a distorted perspective.

You will meet your own collision

You will face the consequences of your actions.

When your conscience comes to ask.

Your moral sense will question you.


Steal the love from those around you

You take love from those close to you without consideration.

Help yourself to everything

You indulge in self-serving actions.

Take the shelter that surrounds you

You take advantage of the protection around you.

It leaves you standing in the rain.

Yet, you find yourself exposed and vulnerable.


Tell me if the money can heal you

Can material wealth bring healing to your life?

Do I have to pray to make it end?

Must I resort to prayer for your suffering to end?

There's nothing left to say when you slipped away.

There's nothing more to be said as you slip away.


I can see you fading fast

I witness your rapid decline.

I won't let you take me

I refuse to let your departure affect me negatively.

When you slipped away

You slipped away, and I can't prevent it.

I can see your burning stare

I see the intensity in your gaze.

Nothing's gonna shake me

Nothing will disturb or unsettle me.

As you slip away

You're slipping away, and I'm unaffected.

As you slip away

You're slipping away gradually.
