The Great Passive - Slow Down the Time Lyrics

The truth cuts like a jagged knife to rip you wide open
Or hand out candy laced with poison

I was the first to clap and start the applause and it felt just fine with me
Made me think I was to go out in front, a pioneer no one needs
Slow down the time and cease to throw
Dust in my eyes and blur my view
I've learned in all the things I do
I'm just a spoke in the wheel that's being moved and so are you

Fears are raised like aeroplanes that blacken the sky and spread their wings
They're no longer safe but nothing is and I can feel it in my bones I wish
That time would come to a sudden halt to set the world to factory default
And though I lie to myself all the time - and I never quite believe
I gotta quit before I've wasted the rest of faith in me

Slow down the time and cease to throw
Dust in my eyes and blur my view
In spite of all the things I do
I'm just a spoke in the wheel that's being moved and so are you

There's a dream I have on the gloomy nights
There is you and I a long time from now and your hand in mine
And a biting chill and the pouring rain will not stop again
There's a line of men dressed up darkly and a beginning and end
