Slow Decay Lyrics by Hostile Array

2024

[Verse 1: Brendan Frey]
Tear down the foundation of what you built
Illuminate my thoughts and make peace with this guilt

[Refrain: Brendan Frey]
Fear has kept me here
It's never been so fucking clear

[Chorus: Brendan Frey]
Afraid to leave and ashamed to be honest
Sacrificed my youth
Made me believe something I never wanted
Now I see the truth

[Verse 2: Brendan Frey]
This weight has taken its toll
On my heavy heart and broken soul
I've never felt so alone

[Refrain: Brendan Frey]
Fear has kept mе here
It's nevеr been so fucking clear
(So fucking clear)

[Chorus: Brendan Frey]
Afraid to leave and ashamed to be honest
Sacrificed my youth (My youth)
Made me believe something I never wanted
Now I see the truth (The truth)
Afraid to leave and ashamed to be honest
Sacrificed my youth (My youth)
Made me believe something I never wanted
Now I see the truth (The truth)

[Bridge: Andy Cizek]
Fear has kept me here
Left me so fucking jaded and alone
I felt the slow decay
Of all I've ever known

[Pre-Chorus: Brendan Frey]
Afraid to leave and ashamed to be honest
(Afraid to leave)

[Chorus: Both]
Afraid to leave and ashamed to be honest
Sacrificed my youth (My youth)
Made me believe something I never wanted
Now I see the truth (The truth)
Afraid to leave and ashamed to be honest (Ashamed to be honest)
Sacrificed my youth (My youth)
Made me believe something I never wanted (That I never wanted)
Now I see the truth

[Refrain: Brendan Frey]
Fear has kept me here
It's never been so fucking clear
