Slippin Away - Nyck Caution

The fire gets started and the weather gets warmer

But the flame doesn’t last too long

'Cause the quiet gets louder, then the seasons get colder

Hope the pain doesn’t feel too strong

The feeling gets older, old faces don’t know you

Things have changed, where did I go wrong?

The rope gets tighter and my grip gets looser

Want to stay, but I can’t keep holding on

And we just keep slippin' away, ayy

And we just keep slippin' away

Speak from the heart, I bet they hear what you say

Don’t think all that much about tomorrow today

I know it’s tough on this path, you feel like you’re losing your way

But keep on pushing through it, every dog has its day

'Cause what I don’t have in skill, I’ll make up for with will

'Cause it’s the size of the fight, not the size of the build

Put my life on a page, still have trouble with bills

Contemplating 'bout continuing still

'Cause what’s the purpose of me going so hard to live a run of the mill

Ordinary life and being unfulfilled on this deal

Am I doing something wrong or am I in the wrong field?

Questions that could eat somebody alive, it’s so real

I feel the lights when I’m under them, they flash and get under my skin

The only reason that I’m this deep in

Show the kids that I’m just like them

Show the kids that I’m just like them

The fire gets started and the weather gets warmer

But the flame doesn’t last too long

'Cause the quiet gets louder, then the seasons get colder

Hope the pain doesn’t feel too strong

The feeling gets older, old faces don’t know you

Things have changed, where did I go wrong?

The rope gets tighter and my grip gets looser

Want to stay, but I can’t keep holding on

And we just keep slippin' away, ayy

And we just keep slippin' away

And we just keep slippin' away, ayy

And we just keep slippin' away

Speak from the heart, I bet they hear what you say

Don’t think all that much about tomorrow today

Speak from the heart, I bet they hear what you say
