Slip Away

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Born of the water Born of the flame This life is a monster Don't you know its name? The house, it is wooden The house, it is stone The proud broken-hearted And close to the bone Once you had a nightmare And then it came to pass Gray as the sky in the morning Green as the grass coverin' a grave [Bridge] Just a slip away Just a slip away Just a slip away [Verse 2] Down to the water Drawn to the flame This life will leave you crippled Don't you know the game? Once you woke up choking But then you held it down Dry as the sand in the desert Black as the clouds coverin' the sun [Guitar Solo]
