Lyrics:

Getting used to how the way things have become
A real, real understanding
I break down like a child when things don't go my way
You never heard, you never heard me
I've got issues though I only speak in tongues
I don't feel like explaining

We kiss the feet of God
And worship his neglect
No one could hear me then but my words were true
If I can hear my hatred
Why does my mouth stay shut
Wish I could break out but there's no time to

Slow decay
Shoot and watch it all burn down
I couldn't regulate
Slow burn slave
Now that all I love is gone
She slipped right through my hands
Oh slow decay
Gone and given up my heart
Good things die anyway

At times it feels like I've been stepped on my whole life
No one's understanding
Just get a grip and scratch this mercy off like lice
Real love's unforgiving

We kiss the feet of God
And worship his neglect
No one could hear me then but my words were true
If I can hear my hatred
Why does my mouth stay shut
Wish I could break out but there's no time to

Slow decay
Shoot and watch it all burn down
I couldn't regulate
Slow burn slave
Now that all I love is gone
She slipped right through my hands
Oh slow decay
Come and shoot me till I'm gone
Kill me for heaven's sake
Slow decay
How I've given up my heart
Good things die anyway

I wanna break out but its just not the right time
I feel so overshadowed
Wish I could break out but its just not the right time
I feel so overshadowed
I wanna freak out but there's too much on the line
I feel so overshadowed
I'm gonna break out but its just not the right time
I'm feeling overshadowed
