"Slipping Away" lyrics

Aching, breaking, shiver shaking, desperate to survive
Tortured, tearing, backward sliding more dead than alive
There comes a time when you're so blind to those who hold your dear
Their love is strong you're so far gone, you don't see their tears
You're going down

Lifetime learning, question burning, does anybody know?
Heartache yearning, my soul preparing 'til it's time to go
You look at me you never see the pain I'm going through
Nightmare dreams are silent screams as I reach out to you
I'm going down

When did it happen?
When did you feel me slipping away?
When did it happen?
When did you feel me slipping away?

Teenage queens in magazines say it's all right to sleaze
Dull vacant eyes and shapeless thigts, you gotta thin to please
Poppin' those pills, drinking your fill won't bring you happy hour
Then you're alone and no one's home when all that shit turns sour

When did it happen?
When did you feel me slipping away?
When did it happen?
When did you feel me slipping away?
I'm slippin' away...

Darkness is my only friend
I shut the light of day...

When did it happen?
When did you feel me slipping away?
When did it happen?
When did you feel me slipping away?
I'm slippin' away...
