Slow Motion Suicide
by Kerry Livgren

Album: Decade

Have you looked at yourself? Is the image true?
Will it look the same when it all comes down on you?
Is the altered state what you're meant to be?
Do you still prefer a twisted reality?

Now I can see your spirit is dying,
And life goes on, but still you're denying the healing hand that seeks to restore you,
Don't turn away; two paths are before you,
Don't play with slow motion suicide,
You throw your life away each day with cold emotion,
Slow motion suicide - it will cost you more that you can ever pay.

When your vision's clear, you can see for a mile,
If your ears can hear, belief will change your style,
Are you barely alive? Is your conscience aware?
If you're looking for life, you just won't find it there.

Now I can see your spirit is dying,
And life goes on, but still you're denying the healing hand that seeks to restore you,
Don't turn away; two paths are before you,
You're into slow motion suicide,
You throw your life away each day with cold emotion,
Slow motion suicide - it will cost you more that you can ever pay.

"Better eat and drink, for tomorrow we die," - such a sad refrain, the creed that you live by,
You're just living a lie,
But you gotta get high, 'cause it makes you forget,
So you take it again; you take all that you can get.

Now I can see your spirit is dying,
And life goes on, but still you're denying,
Don't play with slow motion suicide.

It's gonna cost you more that you can ever pay.
