Slipping Away

They say that the Bible is all that you need
Let me explain bout the way that I feel
I've experienced both, so I'm breaking the seal
Opening truth to the public, I feel
I'll be judged for the things that I say, that's okay
I stay unashamed of the gospel for days!
I'm searching for freedom, like many of you
Fighting for breath, looking for the truth!
My life it is hard, that I'll admit
Financially struggling, falling back in the pit
I feel like I'm drowning, I can't learn to swim
Taking a jump-shot but missing the rim
Good from afar, but still far from good
Put on a mask so they can't see my mood!
I'm tired of faking, I'm tired of fake
People in life who use you to take
Whatever they need from your life and that's it!
Sick of this life and I'm sick of this shit!
PTSD taking over my mind
Reliving the things that I did in my life
From cheating to stealing, from dealing to killing
From lying to crying, from flying to dying
I cant take anymore, I'm tired of surviving
It can't be this hard to just put on a smile! I feel

Like I'm Slipping away
Slipping away, from you
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away, from you

Huh, the kind of week that I had?
Someone else would have lost it for sure
But I been through worse
Seems like I'm born for this type of war!
Asked for a raise, but instead lost my job
Thinking could it get worse than this, oh my god!
But later that week lost my car, was past due
On payments on it, I couldn't follow through!
Hence why I asked for a raise, but too late
I put on a mask filled with anger and hate!
You said you're my friend but you looked past the view
Of helping a soul who is struggling like you!
But you know it's okay, made a way to breakthrough!
Found other ways to provide and pursue
My dream of becoming a rapper it's true
That its hard to get in but you know I'll outdo
Anybody who stands in the way of my dream!
You know that it's true cuz I'm killing this theme!
I'm clawing away from the creatures that lure
Inside of my head, feels like their is no cure!
Only way I'm still here, is by keeping it real!
I do not speak lies, I tell you how it is!
This life that we know, yea I know that its hard
That's why sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart!
Most people say, "Yea, call me when you need,"
But the day that you do, they're nowhere, disappeared!
Then you're left on your own, cuz you're just too ashamed
To ask for some help cuz the people still shame!
So you stay to yourself with your problems inside!
Closed off to the world, you got reasons to hide!
The longer you stay though, the more that it's hard
To break free from yourself and find new ways to love! I feel

Like I'm Slipping away
Slipping away, from you
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away, from you

I gave it to God, all my flaws and my shame
Doesn't leave out the fact that it's all still the same!
Yea, I trust God to protect me all times
But it's hard to believe what I can't see with my eyes!
So I'm sorry my faith has been falling with me
But it seems like I'm stuck in my own hell, you see
Up until I repair all the damage I've caused
I'm not able to breathe, my life is on pause!
At the same time it's moving way faster than light!
I got no time to rest and no strength left to fight!
I don't know where to run, the days turn into nights!
I think imma blow, I'm about to ignite!
I don't know how I'm still waking up everyday!
Repeating the same thing, trying to outweigh
The good things in life instead of slipping away
Into the unknown, but that's my everyday! I feel

Like I'm Slipping away
Slipping away, from you
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away, from you
