"Dying Slowly" lyrics

"Dying Slowly"

I've got memories
I keep them away from me
They won't behave
Won't be what I want them to be

I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

So many squandered moments
So much wasted time
So busy chasing dreams
I left myself behind

I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself

But these worms, darling
They're nibbling away at me
They go at it when I'm sleeping
Won't let me get to my feet

I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting
If I could find the words to explain this fear
Then I would shout them out
If I could find out honestly what's inside it
I would shout it out

So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shouting it out

I'll make some coffee
Pull on that good pair of pants
I can get so far towards it
The feeling just falls away

I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

I'm just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
