Slippin'

Flipping through the channels night gives way to analyzing/
Mistakes I made in light I contemplate with closing eyelids/
Loudest when I'm quite cause my life was built in silence/
My wins in black & white but it's my sins that come in vibrant/
Color me down bad, stuck in my head/
Toss in my bed, cover my troubles/
But I am a pilot what is ahead edge or a ledge/
Come up or fall off, stumble or roll off/
The episode has ended still ain't much to go off/

Slippin' slippin' slippin'/
It's the night time that always leaves me with these thoughts/
Within the darkest of the hours spiraling deep into my mind/
And oh no! There ain't no place to go/

Who knows the reasons we go through these seasons/
Coping with grievance leaves us open to be roped by demons/
My own misleading I found hope in being hope believing/
That people seeing my achievements wouldn't know I'm pleading/
Mercy oh mercy I feel nothing until it hurts me/
I feel numb from all the dumb things I did trying to feel worthy/
Was I bleeding, was I thirsty something's leaving what dispersed me/
Turn my TV on and I feel something lurking/
I'm in the process of making myself and my artistry one in the same/
It's really hard when you in your heart/
And your logic don't want it to change/
I make a deposit & hope I can profit a feeling or personal gain/
Into the darkness letting the clock tick, working through the pain/

Slippin' slippin' slippin'/
It's the night time that always leaves me with these thoughts/
Within the darkest of the hours spiraling deep into my mind/
And oh no! There ain't no place to go/

It gets me every time/
It gets me every time/
Deep within my mind/
Deep in to the night/
It gets me every time/
Every time/

Slippin' slippin' slippin'/
It's the night time that always leaves me with these thoughts/
Within the darkest of the hours spiraling deep into my mind/
And oh no! There ain't no place to go/
