From the recording Follow The Gaslight
A song about ambition, self-deception and the people we push aside while trying not to fall behind.
Lyrics
Look at me
I’m on the slippery slope
Falling apart
But keeping up my hopes
Cause I don’t wanna be
Falling behind
Get out of the way
Would you be so kind
And fall in line
Please, fall in line
And look at me
I’m on the slippery slope
Falling apart
But keeping up my hopes
Cause all I want is to be
Winning the race
Get out of the way
And do it with some grace
Without losing face
And brace yourself
Bridge
We used to be in love
But that wasn’t what I was dreaming of
Look at me
I’m on a slippery slope
Falling apart
But keeping up my hopes
I know too well
That I have left you behind
I got you out of my way
You are just too kind
And it makes you blind
Kindness makes you blind
