lyrics
SUICIDE SLOW
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2007)
I guess this is as good as I'm gonna make it
I guess this is as bright as the sun's gonna glow
I guess the bottom half is the top of my glass
I'm gonna take it slow, suicide slow
Gonna take it real slow
Suicide slow
I guess this is as much fun as I'll ever have
I guess this is the best that I'll ever know
I guess you get the message is an S.O.S
I'm gonna take it slow, suicide slow
Gonna take it real slow, suicide slow
I'm gonna go real slow, suicide slow
I'm gonna die real slow,
Suicide slow
I guess I've said the best lines
And loved the best loves of my life
And out of all the seeds I've spilled
This is all that's gonna grow
But if I've seen the high times
Then I'm loathe to see the low
I'm gonna take it slow, suicide slow
I'm gonna take it real slow, suicide slow
I'm gonna go real slow
I'm gonna die real slow,
Suicide slow
Out on Colfax I was talking to some guy who's in the know
He grabbed me by the shoulders and he said "Hey listen BRO"
"If you've learned all the lessons in the world then there's still one more left to go,"
You gotta take it slow, suicide slow
You gotta go real slow
You gotta die real slow,
Suicide slow
