Slow Motion

Fear and the Nervous System

UNTIL I HEAR THOSE VOICES ROAR AGAIN
YOU COULD MISTAKE ME FOR A MADMAN
YOU’LL NEVER MOVE FROM HERE IN THIS POSITION
CALLING OUTWARDS
UP TO THE HEAVENS
 
EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEMS TO MOVE
SEEMS TO MOVE IN SLOW MOTION
 
DID I LEAVE THIS ONE TOO MUCH ALIVE
DO I WANT TO REMEMBER
AND DID SHE SCRATCH MY NAME OUT AS SHE DIED
 
LOCKED IN MOTION
IN CONSTANT TREMOR
AFTER HOURS
THE ONLY DOCTOR
OPEN TO ATTACK AS I APPROACH THE DOORSTEP
WE TREAD ON THE KILLING FIELDS
 
EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEMS TO MOVE
SEEMS TO MOVE IN SLOW MOTION
 
DID I LEAVE THIS ONE TOO MUCH ALIVE
DO I WANT TO REMEMBER
DID SHE SCRATCH MY NAME OUT AS SHE DIED
 
EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEMS TO MOVE IN SLOW MOTION
CAUGHT AT FULL FLICKER
MY MIND IS ALWAYS ON
YOUR COMMITMENT FALLS FLAT
WITH THAT HESITATION
DO YOU CALL THIS MURDER
YEAH, THIS IS NEARLY OVER
 
IN THIS RITUAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER
MY LOVE TAKES THE SHAPE
OF A SPADE OR A DAGGER
WHEN YOU STAND THERE
MARKED AS A TRAITOR
YOU KNOW
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR
 
DID I LEAVE THIS ONE TOO MUCH ALIVE
DO I WANT TO REMEMBER
DID SHE SCRATCH MY NAME OUT AS SHE DIED
 
LOOK AT YOU ALL
WHO REALLY MADE THOSE TEARS FALL
LOOK AT YOU ALL
