"State Of Slow Decay" lyrics - IN FLAMES
It is my reflection
But I know it's not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key
This place is falling apart
There's no way back
Passing through the gates
A new shadow will reveal itself
[Pre-Chorus:]
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We are all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
We'll destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus:]
Faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear, forgive, and forget
But I see there's no way
Seen it through the accolades
It all should be a great success
But there are so many burdens
World is heavy and full of distress
[Pre-Chorus:]
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We are all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
We'll destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
[Chorus:]
Faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear, forgive, and forget
But I see there's no way
