slippery slippery slope

slippery slippery slope

I just keep sliding

this ground like soap

I can't keep slipping

I continuously mope

on this slippery slippery slope

I am but tied to a rope

I'm on hard ground

and I see you

in this soft thick forest

I'm close to you

I'm with you

and yet I say nothing

slippery slippery-- nope

I'm here and it's now

there's no more waiting

and there is no rope

I can't keep sliding

this ground like soap

slippery slipper--

I only see you once a week

and now you're in front of me

you're my goal

but fear is in the way

slippery slippery slope

I'll sit on a log and mope

hard ground,

I'm better than this.

I might die tomorrow

so I'll get you now

but all this sorrow

is stopping me

and I'm just sliding down

this slippery slippery slope.

Tell me--

what am I waiting for?

what greater time than now?

to its deepest end,

life is at most a single moment

a slippery slippery slope

nothing more than what I wrote

all I can do to keep from falling

is clinging to your shoulder

grabbing onto your hand

and asking what your name is

what's your favorite band?

whatever it is, just say it

life is at most a single moment

this slippery slippery slope

and if I would only talk to you

just that would give me hope.
