A Slow Decent Lyrics - Prepare To Be Wrong [ep] - Straylight Run

I'm tired. 

Cynical and broken, but wiser. 

Heavy with a sense of resentment, 

but i used to be so much different, 

I used to have so much faith 

when I started. 

You knew that I always meant it. 

I knew I could make a difference, 

I struggled to be heard 

and then finally, one day people started listening. 

and I knew it 

but as soon as it began it was ruined. 

A slow descent from unique to routine, 

over and over, 

"just do it again and this time with feeling". 

The spotlight. 

The focus on the friends and the feelings. 

That made those stupid songs all worth singing. 

And don't you say a word 

unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed. 

So we drove 

for what seemed like days 

over roads 

and four lane highways. 

We said all we had to say 

and I realized in time that it didn't mean anything. 

Never, 

not ever again. 

Not like that. 

"It's only a matter of time".
