Slow Burn Songtext
Planning on a getaway
But someone shut the door
Stuck something in my path
Before my face hit the floor
And I saw the blood run out
Between the cracks in the tile
Though leading off to nowhere
Still traveling, all the while

And I tried to pick myself up
So I could start all over again
Everything became distorted
Something told me I couldn't win
Your luck might be the battle
But this war won't ever end
Until you're somewhere in the ground
With a bullet in the head

Sad to say they had a point
Cause the message did ring clear
It hit me like a ton of bricks
That my end was coming near
There was a fire inside my heart
But how little did I know
That with the smoke inside my soul
The burn would not be slow

And I tried to pick myself up
So I could start all over again
Everything split apart
And it reminded me, again
Your luck might be the battle
But this war won't ever end
Until you've fallen so far down
That it kills your strength within

Whatever keeps you going
Don't count on it for too long
There's only so far you can go
Before your will is completely gone
And the second that it is
That's when you're laid to rest
Cause your luck might be the battle
But wars don't ever end

You can pick yourself up
And do whatever you've gotta do
But when everything caves in
It's sad to say, it all rings true
Cause once you've lost your will
And taken that final turn
It's all downhill from there
And it's never a slow burn

And I tried to pick myself up
So I could start all over again
Everything became distorted
Something told me I couldn't win
Your luck might be the battle
But this war won't ever end
Until you're somewhere in the ground
With a bullet in the head

Yeah, I tried to pick myself up
So I could start all over again
Everything split apart
And it reminded me, again
That once you've lost your will
And taken that final turn
It's all downhill from there
And it's never a slow burn

Oh, once you've lost your will
And taken that final turn
It's all downhill from there
And it's never a slow burn

There was a fire inside my heart
But how little did I know
That with the smoke inside my soul
The burn would not be slow
