Flint Eastwood - Slipping Away lyrics

Spend my days caught looking through a prism Rose-colored shades got me living in a prison I’m slipping away, I’m slipping away Haven’t seen my friends or my people in a minute Backtrack mind, yeah I need to hear their wisdom Cause I’m slipping away, I’m slipping away What do I know? Church ladies with their hands on their pocketbooks Giving loose change out to a criminal cause it’s biblical They’re slipping away Where does he go? Old man on the train never getting off Three sheets to the wind and it’s not enough, still not enough He’s slipping away, slipping away And they cry, and I cry Wasting our time Slipping away, slipping away One day they’ll die One day I’ll day Have we wasted our lives Slipping away, slipping away? Spend my days caught looking through a prism Rose-colored shades got me living in a prison I’m slipping away, I’m slipping away What do I know? Nice suits on the streets rolling eyes at me So rich, so blind, no empathy, and it’s k**ing me They’re slipping away And they cry, and I cry Wasting our time Slipping away, slipping away One day they’ll die One day I’ll day Have we wasted our lives Slipping away, slipping away? Trying to plant my feet To get through this weather Lead me to believe That it’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better It’s gonna get better
