[Verse 1]
Appealing to reason with the lowest of lows
When I slowly realize I'm running out of time
Or when I'm sitting in my self-decline, no question in mind
Will I see it wasn't meant to be?

[Pre-Chorus]
Taking hold of life with an iron grip
Reaching out for something when it starts to rip
Try to get away but I'm beginning to slip
In a position too different than the one I started with

[Chorus]
Sliding down
Gone away
Too late now
It's here to stay

[Verse 2]
Wish for something else, you beg and plead
You get down on the floor on your hands and knees
That something will change, and not a moment too soon
But would it really make a difference if you really never knew

[Pre-Chorus]
Taking hold of life with an iron grip
Reaching out for something when it starts to rip
Try to get away but I'm beginning to slip
In a position too different than the one I started with

[Chorus]
Sliding down
Gone away
Too late now
It's here to stay

[Bridge]
New ways to fall apart, new ways to say

"Live with this, take the pain
Lose yourself, make you insane"

Push yourself
To new lows
Something new
That you'll never know

[Chorus]
Sliding down
Gone away
Too late now
It's here to stay
