Slow Motion Suicide

Slow Motion Suicide - Kerry Livgren/AD

Written by：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

Don't play with

Slow motion suicide

And it will cost you more

That you can ever pay
