Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You came in soft
Like a door not shut
Left your shoes by mine
Then you drained the cup
Your name on the wall
Faded by the sink
Every little lie
Took another inch
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air feels thin
In my chest at dawn
I can hear it start
When the blood runs wrong
[Chorus]
Slow death, slow death
You take your time
Slow death, slow death
You live in my mind
One more kiss
Then you split the seam
Slow death, slow death
You’re killing me
[Verse 2]
I cut all the ropes
You still found the knots
I washed out the stain
But the mark stayed hot
Your voice in the hall
When the house goes still
I lock every door
You slip through the seal
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air feels thin
In my chest at dawn
I can hear it start
When the blood runs wrong
[Chorus]
Slow death, slow death
You take your time
Slow death, slow death
You live in my mind
One more kiss
Then you split the seam
Slow death, slow death
You’re killing me
[Bridge]
Say it plain
Do you love the wreck?
Do you need the ache
Just to keep me left?
I was all in
You were all smoke
Now I’m holding dust
In a broken throat
[Chorus]
Slow death, slow death
You take your time
Slow death, slow death
You live in my mind
One more kiss
Then you split the seam
Slow death, slow death
You’re killing me
[Outro]
Slow death
Slow death
You’re killing me
Slow death
You came in soft
Like a door not shut
Left your shoes by mine
Then you drained the cup
Your name on the wall
Faded by the sink
Every little lie
Took another inch
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air feels thin
In my chest at dawn
I can hear it start
When the blood runs wrong
[Chorus]
Slow death, slow death
You take your time
Slow death, slow death
You live in my mind
One more kiss
Then you split the seam
Slow death, slow death
You’re killing me
[Verse 2]
I cut all the ropes
You still found the knots
I washed out the stain
But the mark stayed hot
Your voice in the hall
When the house goes still
I lock every door
You slip through the seal
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air feels thin
In my chest at dawn
I can hear it start
When the blood runs wrong
[Chorus]
Slow death, slow death
You take your time
Slow death, slow death
You live in my mind
One more kiss
Then you split the seam
Slow death, slow death
You’re killing me
[Bridge]
Say it plain
Do you love the wreck?
Do you need the ache
Just to keep me left?
I was all in
You were all smoke
Now I’m holding dust
In a broken throat
[Chorus]
Slow death, slow death
You take your time
Slow death, slow death
You live in my mind
One more kiss
Then you split the seam
Slow death, slow death
You’re killing me
[Outro]
Slow death
Slow death
You’re killing me
Slow death
Style of Music
Alternative rock with a half-time stomp, tense palm-muted verses, and a widescreen chorus that opens into crashing drums and gritty guitar stacks; pre-chorus strips to bass and toms for a nervous climb, chorus hits with shouted doubles and a chantable hook, bridge drops to a near-silent vocal-guitar pulse before the last lift. Close-mic lead vocal with rasp, gang shouts on the hook, delay throws on final words, tape hiss and reversed cymbal swells into each section, bright-but-heavy mix with sharp low end, slow
