Music and Lyrics by Darrin James

I don’t mean to make light
Of the sorrow and the fright
I know it’s no joke
I don’t want to fight
To the left or the right
But the world is broke
Someday you’ll find
You can’t escape your mind
And the nagging fear
You can’t look behind 
Too long you’ll find 
Yourself in tears

Because it slips away
It slips away


I mean no offense
But it makes no sense
How we tell these lies
When you’re awake at night
Do you feel alright 
Or do your demons thrive
Can you separate
The pain so great
Til you’re feeling fine
Do you wish for love
Is the money enough 
Are you out of time


Before it slips away
It slips away



I’ve been defeated so many times
I won many battles
But i lost the war
Who will pay for all our crimes?
Do we remember what were we fighting for

It’s slips away




Did you walk outside 
In the morning light
Something beautiful was gone
In the emptiness
You steal a kiss
From the great beyond
When you find peace there 
Did you ever care
Whose side you’re on
In your house of mirrors
The image is clearly
Changing fast
The moments flow
They rise and glow 
But they never last


It just slips away
Another day is gone
It slips Away
If I’m right today I’m wrong

I’ve lost so many friends by now
Still the world just blindly spins around
As we closed the store, we left the town
We locked the gates, we burned it down
There’s no-one around

I don’t want to run
From the oceans or the sun
But i see no hope
When the light is gone
And the war is won
Was it all a joke
Will we disappear 
When the end is here
Will we be reborn 
From the primal sludge
Who will be the judge
Who will wear the thorn

When it slips away
