Slow Fade - Ruth B.

Be careful little eyes what you see It's the second glance that ties your hands As darkness pulls the strings Be careful little feet where you go For it's the little feet behind you That are sure to follow It's a slow fade When you give yourself away It's a slow fade When black and white have turned to grey And thoughts invade, choices made A price will be paid When you give yourself away People never crumble in a day It's a slow fade It's a slow fade Be careful little ears what you hear When flattery leads to compromise The end is always near Be careful little lips what you say For empty words and promises Lead broken hearts astray It's a slow fade When you give yourself away It's a slow fade When black and white have turned to grey And thoughts invade, choices made A price will be paid When you give yourself away People never crumble in a day The journey from your mind to your hands Is shorter than you're thinking Be careful if you think you stand You just might be sinking And it's a slow fade When you give yourself away It's a slow fade When black and white have turned to grey And thoughts invade, choices made A price will be paid When you give yourself away People never crumble in a day (slow fade) Daddies never crumble in a day (slow fade) Families never crumble in a day Oh, be careful little eyes what you see Oh, be careful little eyes what you see For the Father up above is looking down in love Oh, be careful little eyes what you see

I haven't got the guts to call him up Walk around as if you never cared in the first place But if you never call you'll end up stuck Thought another chance to tell him off right to his face And even though we barely know each other It still hurts watching him fade way, watching him fade way Watching him fade way, watching him fade way I know you never meant to put him down And even if you did, he sure deserved it The thought of him no longer being around Well sure it would be sad but not really different And even though we barely know each other It still hurts watching him fade way, watching him fade way Watching him fade way, watching him fade way

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?)
