Slow Motion Suicide - Kerry Livgren

Have you looked at yourself, is the image true

Will it look the same when it all comes down on you?

Is the altered state what you’re meant to be

Do you still prefer a twisted reality?

Now I can see your spirit is dying

And life goes on, but still you’re denying

The healing hand that seeks to restore you

Don’t turn away, two paths are before you

Don’t play with slow motion suicide

You throw your life away each day with cold emotion

Slow motion suicide

And it will cost you more that you can ever pay

When your vision is clear, you can see for a mile

If your ears can hear, belief will change your style

Are you barely alive, is your conscience aware?

If you’re lookin' for life, you just won’t find it there

Now I can see your spirit is dying

And life goes on, but still you’re denying

The healing hand that seeks to restore you

Don’t turn away, two paths are before you

Don’t play with slow motion suicide

You throw your life away each day with cold emotion

Slow motion suicide

And it will cost you more that you can ever pay

«Better eat and drink, for tomorrow we die»

Such a sad refrain, the creed that you live by

You’re just living a lie

But you gotta get high, 'cause it makes you forget

So you take it again, you take all that you can get

Now I can see your spirit is dying

And life goes on, but still you’re denying

The healing hand that seeks to restore you

Don’t turn away, two paths are before you

Don’t play with slow motion suicide

You throw your life away each day with cold emotion

Slow motion suicide

And it will cost you more that you can ever pay
