Slick Shoes - Self Titled EP (TND1073)
1. Silence
Now I have always wondered
how I can stand upon your shoulders
look around and around and round and not see a thing
it always seems confusing
your jokes are never amusing
you can talk, talk, talk and not say a thing
we could fall below and never make a sound
the truth is frightening now
will we ever get out ?
you always try to listen
and for that gift I feel threatened
by the high esteem I hold you, it hurts so much
I wipe the dust off of my face
it's all that's left of my dreams misplaced
I find it hard to believe you could take much more
2. I guess
me, myself and I
I guess I'm scared you lied to me again
I guess, foolish as I am, have a weakness for you
'cause once you cared for me
we all know that you were hurting deep inside
we can't tell your life's regret is killing you
we never have the time to straighten out lines between you
and I
And if, if I saw you die, I'm scared I would not cry
because of what you said to me
we all know that time's the only thing between us
we can't tell
that only God can help us work it out
3. Five O Grind
binded hands and a restrained mouth
will I ever get out of this prison that I call my room ?
and now I'm carried by my dreams
as foolish as it seems
you'll never change me
another useless night
I guess I'll be alright
as long as you stay here
more time not spent
my trouble never ends
I keep on thinking of you
sometimes I'm wrong
I just wanna write you songs
helping my brother's out
sometimes I can't help but shout
4. My so called real world
see me, I play all your games better than you do
I see it as nothing new, what would you do
i plan my life alone, stumble through the unknown
I took your hand to find out
your world was upside down
i thank you for all you gave to me
and forgive you for what you've done
but don't ever expect from me, the stupid things you've done
on a day, then came to me
a promise of something new
a promise that you'd care for me
love unconditional
now as far as my life's concerned
it's all in perspective
the greatest gift you gave to me
was turning my world upside down
