Long Beach Shortbus

Slow Down Lyrics



I spilled my gut but I bit my tongue

I bent my mind with a blackened lung

Stuck inside myself with nowhere to run



I’ve got to face the truth

Carefree times have left with youth

They blew a kiss and rode into the sun



I know it is sublime but I can’t stare

Truth will set me free but I’m so scared



And I’m running

The bridge is burning

And I’ve been lying

So long I believe it



I know I drive me crazy

So me asks myself, if you could please slow down!



What you don’t know won’t hurt you

When I lie you see right through

Long for life now I can’t get a clue



I can’t believe the truth

Caught red handed with the proof

Now I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do



My soul's saying it's sublime but I can’t stare

The truth will set me free but I’m so scared



And I’m running

The bridge is burning

And I’ve been lying

So long I believe it



I know I drive me crazy

So me asks myself, could you please slow down!



I know I can’t lie

There’s no way to hide

I’m so deep inside, deep inside

Give me a knife

Oh I can’t, can't sleep at night

I need some rest

Get it off my chest

Paint chips made of lead, lead

Lead on my shoulder

Keep this lead off
