Take It Slow
Dave McPherson
Confession long overdue
His sorrows drown in this flood
Could not get over you
You’re in his blood
He tried to help himself
Helped himself to too much
To choose yourself unwell makes an unsteady crutch
Drank his skin yellow
Stripped down to his bones
Sank down so far below the sea
And he is me
I just wish I could take it slow
So slow
Now the truth is out the way
Ruthless toothless shame
Bad men bathe in the darkest bays
The fall tastes so perfect until you hit rock bottom
Was it all worth it to become forgottеn?
Thank you all my friends for helping me to mеnd
In the end it’s you that I depend on
The time that I have spent & spent
