I walked in slow-motion today
And when I spoke, I drawled
The insects sprinted past me
And I just crawled and crawled
I let my heartbeat slow to
Just half it’s normal pace
A migraine pounded in my temple
Twisting up my face
Kill me slowly
I’m fading away
Last night I dreamt I went to heaven
And I stood outside the gates
You stood on the inside
And smiled at my fate
I gripped the golden spires
And let them pierce my hands
I’ll play Jesus for the masses
When your religion is no longer in demand
Kill me slowly
I’m fading away
I’ve seen enough
I have no doubt
Be sure your sin
Will find you out
Kill me slowly
I’m fading away
Let grace flow through your veins
There shall be no salvation for the cynics
(2005)
