Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking
[Verse 2]
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
[Verse 3]
The secrets I hide
That twist me inside
And make me weaker
[Verse 4]
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
[Verse 5]
I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again
If only I could, if only I could
If only I could remember
Anything at all
Written by: Robert James Smith
