2. Let's slip away

This world can tie you up
Before long tie you down
Can you leave you cold and comfortless
The only one in town

When conflict screws you up
Decision screws you down
The smallest thing can irritate
You wear a prickly gown

I’ve seen that look before
I know you to the core
I know you’re bleeding and you’re raw
Let’s slip away

The traffic cuts you up
And conscience cuts you down
Each one a crueller cut
Each time you go to ground

Where you can rest and still your head
Where all you need is left unsaid
Where you have room to breathe once more
And faith and love have been restored
When you can rest and still your mind
With all those troubles left behind
When you have room to love once more
And all your goodness is restored

I’ve seen that look before
I know you to the core
Let's move toward that unseen door
And slip away
