"Slow Leak" lyrics

"Slow Leak"

I'm not ready to give up
I'm not that kind of ghost
The unspoken sleeps between us
Like a voice caught in your throat
Static is the only light we see anymore
Falllin' down

Do you feel it anymore?
Black magic voodoo pins
Cutting paper hearts
Til they're too frail and slim
Where's that first time feeling
Like a first fall wind
Leavin' town

It's been a slow leak darlin'
We had nothin' but fun
Yeah we had a good ride
Yeah we had a good run
But we just can't pretend
To be the only ones that don't come undone
Slow leak... already begun

Remember death came to visit took your brother right on cue
So we took a vacation just to get a different view
Took an Irish exit
For the flame to find it's way back to me and you

It's been a slow leak lovely
It's been nothing but fun
A one way ride
Yeah once in a lifetime run
But why should we pretend
To be the only ones that won't come undone
Slow leak... already begun

It's been a slow leak baby
We had nothin' but fun
Yeah we had a good ride
Yeah we had a good run
But we just can't pretend
To be the only ones that don't come undone
Slow leak... already begun

It's a far cry from heaven
Now what have we become
Yeah we had a good ride
Yeah we had a good run
But we just can't pretend
To be the only ones that don't come undone
Slow leak... already begun

Already begun
