Slipping Back

As water trickles through it grows
No need for big ass floods
As love nurishes me, I know
To rise out of the mudd
In which I wallow
Daily, hollow
Getting nowhere
Wanting somewhere

Now, it's greater than I can forsee
It's everything that I believe and more
Not something to deceive I can't
Even imagine slipping back

As lifeblood flows, the souls alive
No need for sacrifice
It courses through, beyond me thrives
And feeds me with the life
Which I deny
I break I hide
Deep down inside
Now can't deny that

It's greater than I can forsee
It's everything that I believe and more
Not something to deceive I can't
Even imagine slipping back

Slipping back a slippery slope
Slipping back a tightening rope
Around my neck, around my thoughts
Of slipping back and staying lost

As time slides past each moment faster
Than the last I need to cast
A print a stamp a mark to place
Myself within this time and space
But feet unsteady, head is heavy
Not quite ready, nevermind
Each step gets harder I start to wander
The slope is stronger, so I find I'm

Slipping back a slippery slope
Slipping back a tightening rope
Around my neck, around my thoughts
Of slipping back and staying lost
