Slipped Away
Mary seems outside herself
She doesn’t seem the same
Many of us can relate
But the still frame hasn’t changed
Puzzled by the poison
The fever spreading air
The same thing happens to everyone
Just effects in different ways
But her life is not only hers
Yes her life is not only hers
Then she slipped away...
slips away again
Mary leaves the light on
She said she’s feeling insecure
Troubled thoughts upon her now
How much will we ignore
Many friends surrounding her
But she doesn’t see them at all
Afraid of what they’ll think of her
And what they’ll maybe call
But her life is not only hers
Yes her life is not only hers
Then she slipped away...
slips away again
Yeah you know this life
Is full of really silly laughter, anymore
Yeah you know
It doesn’t really really matter, anymore
Mary walks away from here
With a head on her shoulder
She’s learned a lot the last few days
Mary it’s time to go
