Long Beach Shortbus - Slow Down


I spilled my gut but I bit my tongue
I bent my mind with a blackened lung
Stuck inside myself with nowhere to run

I’ve got to face the truth
Carefree times have left with youth
They blew a kiss and rode into the sun

I know it is sublime but I can’t stare
Truth will set me free but I’m so scared

And I’m running
The bridge is burning
And I’ve been lying
So long I believe it

I know I drive me crazy
So me asks myself, if you could please slow down!

What you don’t know won’t hurt you
When I lie you see right through
Long for life now I can’t get a clue

I can’t believe the truth
Caught red handed with the proof
Now I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do

My soul's saying it's sublime but I can’t stare
The truth will set me free but I’m so scared

And I’m running
The bridge is burning
And I’ve been lying
So long I believe it

I know I drive me crazy
So me asks myself, could you please slow down!

I know I can’t lie
There’s no way to hide
I’m so deep inside, deep inside
Give me a knife
Oh I can’t, can't sleep at night
I need some rest
Get it off my chest
Paint chips made of lead, lead
Lead on my shoulder
Keep this lead off
