Slow burn
Don't notice, 'til it's too late
By then, you're singed and scarred
Or maybe too tired to care
Or just bored and unaware
Until it hurts
Until it hurts
Simple enough - but not so easy
Glimpse of truth - but not just to please me
Don't let it take over
Before it gets too strong
As the clock ticks by
Before you know, it's been too long
Beware the slow burn
Wish you was
Less ambiguous
That'd make it easier to notice
And run away
Not just stay
Cause it's easier
That way
Yeah, it's easier
That way
As the clock ticks by
Before you know, it's been too long
Beware the slow burn
Before you know that it began
Something has taken your hand
And it's not what you wanted
Instead you're just haunted
By decisions that you've made
Or avoided and delayed
Why do we never learn
From the slow burn?
Why do we never learn
From the slow burn?
