Slack Lyrics by Elyse Shackleton

Car Conversations

2018

(Verse 1)
I fit all these words into each line
Because I’m scared of not bringing enough value
I think my entire life
I’ve felt like the need to justify myself to you
You slip, you lose your grip
Holding on over the river just for kicks (is it time to let go?)
I wonder how we got to this point where we hate ourselves
Got convinced these were stories not to tell

(Chorus)
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end

(Verse 2)
It starts so young, miscommunication, pressure
The world is sitting on your young shoulders
The truth is calling out from past your mental bubble
Pronouns caught, your heart drops, you realize that you love her
The world starts crumbling around you
Justify your right to exist, your right to live (don't you let go)
You wonder, should you be here at all?
It’d be easier to just walk

(Chorus)
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end

(Bridge)
Fall apart, you know you do
Fall apart, but we do too
Fall apart, you know you do
Fall apart, but we do too
Fall apart, you know you will
Fall apart, but love yourself still
Fall apart, you know you do
Fall apart, but we do too


(Chorus)
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end
Love yourself the way you love your friends
This is not, no this is not the end
Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends
This is not, no this is not the end
