A Slow Descent Lyrics - Singles - 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"
