Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am slowing down

As the years go by

I am sinking

[Chorus]

So I trick myself

Like everybody else

[Verse 2]

The secrets I hide

That twist me inside

And make me weaker

[Chorus]

So I trick myself

Like everybody else

So I trick myself

Like everybody else

[Outro]

I crouch in fear and wait

I'll never feel again

If only I could, if only I could

If only I could remember

Anything at all
