Slow Motion Countdown

I can see you sometimes

When the matador dance is put on hold

Frozen in the moment

And your eyes will let the truth be told

I can see a man who

Never once has truly felt that his

Good deeds and golden heart

Could outshine the dark that he was dealt

Slow motion countdown

It won't last forever

I can see you, knife in hand

But the ropes have got you all bound down

Let rest the blade, dear

It's the struggle that keeps the tangles wound

I can see you shrinking

As we drift apart into deep space

Slow motion countdown

You're trapped in the dark of a new moon phase

Well, it's a slow motion countdown

We're approaching zero

It's a slow motion letdown

Love won't be a hero

Well, it's a slow motion countdown

We're approaching zero

It's a slow motion letdown

Love won't be a hero
