Every page turned is wasted time Every word written is wasting lines Just another drop of poison To fill cracked veins Or to prove a heart's still beating Sliced in half and completely drained No one is as they seem Our emptied black sockets See nothing bar An empty, gray beauty Precious things will break, my dear And we're all slowing down In this world that keeps turning

Slowing Down
Every page turned is wasted time Every word written is wasting lines Just another drop of poison To fill cracked veins Or to prove a heart's still beating Sliced in half and completely drained No one is as they seem Our emptied black sockets See nothing bar An empty, gray beauty Precious things will break, my dear And we're all slowing down In this world that keeps turning
