Slowly (oh so slowly)

the veil between the world and the faceless bride
there’s nothing yet but a bunch of white
oh, potential, you’re a loaded line

tomorrow, well, i'll wait for you
laying right here, floating in this swimming pool
there’s a lot of things i got left to do
oh, tomorrow, i'll wait for you
the days keep slipping down into the cracks
it takes a while to realize where you’re at

slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly), slowly, it’s slowly ending

dementia, you better treat me good
the human race is it, it’s like a childhood
i never learned what i understood
oh, dementia, you better treat me good

sometimes, i need a place to go
classical music plays from my radio
i sit real still, let my shadow grow
yeah, sometimes, i need a place to go

my mind keeps slipping back into the past
i hope someday that i can get it back

slowly [so slowly], slowly [so slowly], slowly, it’s slowly ending [so slowly]
slowly [so slowly], slowly [so slowly], slowly, it’s slowly ending

and soon that train is gonna pull away, i hear it whistling
i try to wave at a boy's face, they can’t tell who i am
slowly [so slowly], slowly [so slowly], slowly, it’s slowly ending
