[Verse 1]
Potential, well, you're a loaded line
The veil between the world and the faceless bride
There's nothing yet but a bunch of white
Oh potential, well, you're a loaded line

Tomorrow, well, I'll wait for you
Laying right here floating in this swimming pool
There's a lot of things I got left to do
Oh tomorrow, but I'll wait for you

[Pre-Chorus]
The days keep slipping down into the cracks
It takes a while to realize where you're at

[Chorus]
Slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly)
Slowly, it's slowly ending

[Verse 2]
Dementia, you better treat me good
The human race is in its second childhood
I never learn but I understood
Oh dementia, you better treat me good

Sometimes I need a place to go
Classical music plays from the radio
I sit real still, let my shadow grow
Yeah, sometimes I need a place to go
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My mind keeps slipping back into the past
I hope someday that I can get it back

[Chorus]
Slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly)
Slowly, they're slowly ending
So slowly, slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly)
Slowly, it's slowly ending

[Bridge]
And soon that train is going to pull away
I hear it whistling
I try to wave at a glowing face
They can't tell who I am

[Chorus]
Slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly)
Slowly, it's slowly ending
