Slowly ft. Gowtham Krishna by TheAnt777 Lyrics
[Hook – Gowtham Krishna:]
My cracks are showin’ the bricks are fallin’
I fear I’ve lost all that’s left in me
Another victim, stuck in the system
Stuck in the centre helplessly
I’ve watched you spin your web
Your poison never ends
You smile as I slip out
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly…
[Verse 1 – TheAnt 777:]
I see bullying every day, it’s a never-ending cycle
I know the victim’s pain, yea his name was Michael
He was a little strange all throughout high school
So he gets hate, and those bullies were so spiteful
But he meant no harm and he was a nice guy
But give him a push, and he might cry
So they let the fight fly, punch him in the right eye
An ongoing battle is exactly what his life’s like
His anger, makes him a target
So, he has all this beef and this hate that they’d started
Doesn’t help this kid is special, so they’d says he’s retarded
And they don’t give a damn, his feelings ain’t that regarded
And now he’s starting to feel, homeless and selfish
All day he stares at posters of Elvis
He’s depressed so he doses himself it’s
Gonna get worse, he is hopeless and helpless
[Hook – Gowtham Krishna:]
My cracks are showin’ the bricks are fallin’
I fear I’ve lost all that’s left in me
Another victim, stuck in the system
Stuck in the centre helplessly
I’ve watched you spin your web
Your poison never ends
You smile as I slip out
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly…
[Verse 2 – TheAnt 777:]
I keep seeing it out the corner of my eye
It isn’t hard to notice when he’s mourning all the time
The bullies can't get by with the boredom in their lives
I know cuz I can see the love for torture in their eyes
To put others down, It’s their source of entertainment
They love it so much; they force him on the pavement
They punch him and he hates it with remorse but he won't state it
Cuz he wants to look tough but it’s his course and he won’t change it
And words hurt so much
They burn, they hurt like a bad driver hurts the clutch
But does Michael annoy them on purpose? Nup
And do you really think he deserves this? Nup
Now he stops and screams and he coughs and swings
His heart’s a mental battle, it’s a boxing ring
And he ain’t receiving no help from the bystanders
He wants a pause from the wars, and it’s because…
[Bridge – Gowtham Krishna:]
I’m just another victim
They won’t stop, they won’t listen
They won’t accept my flaws
I can’t take this no more
[Verse 3 – TheAnt 777:]
They jumped him in the hallway and hurt his hip
As days go on, he forgets what his purpose is
Not focused at school he simply pursed his lips
Cuz the more he fights back the worse it gets
He’s goes back and forth, his emotions swing like a door hinge
He should a run beforehand as they come towards him
They surround him, serious this time
It’s the middle of his face that the bully’s fist finds
And what you gonna do when they laugh at you?!
And battle you, and tackle you, and snap at you
And grab at you, and stab at you, and jab at you
And even your parents are getting mad at you!
His mum is concerned, his Dads confused
And they’re both claiming he’s got bad attitude
So he goes to his room, he grabs the noose
And then he goes off to find a tree to attach it too!
My cracks are showin’ the bricks are fallin’
I fear I’ve lost all that’s left in me
Another victim, stuck in the system
Stuck in the centre helplessly
I’ve watched you spin your web
Your poison never ends
You smile as I slip out
Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly…
