Manslaughter (Second Degree)

When you sink into your silence
I don't know if I should follow or retreat
You need to think and weigh the evidence
While I sit here on the edge of my defeat

There was a time when you were bolder
But you're more brittle than you ever were before
You laughed so freely, cried on my shoulder
Now you treat me like a prisoner of war

It's not a case of depraved indifference
It's not homicide in the first degree
It's not murder one it's just manslaughter
It's not the end of the world
It's just the end of you and me

I know you're in there, buried somewhere
Hiding in a place that I can't reach
You see your life going nowhere
You're looking for a cure and I'm the disease

You want to run to another lover
To make it easier to say goodbye
It's killing me to see you suffer
Yet I know that you'd be glad to see me die

It's not a case of depraved indifference
It's not homicide in the first degree
It's not murder one it's just manslaughter
It's not the end of the world
It's just the end of you and me

When you sink into your silence
I don't know if I should follow or retreat
You see your life going nowhere
You're looking for a cure and I'm the disease

It's not murder one it's just manslaughter
It's not murder one it's just manslaughter
Manslaughter
Manslaughter
