Slow Burn

It keeps getting harder

To keep standing in place

The top is pushing down hard

Taking all it can take

It's a slow burn

You're a frog in the pot

Expectations dying

An invisible rot

Even when we're together

I still feel alone

Trying to lose the thought

Of a forever home

It's a slow burn

You're a frog in the pot

Expectations dying

An invisible rot

I'm anxious

Never been less secure

The planet is peeling away

The resources we need to stay

What do we really own?

What can we keep

Besides our bones?

Everything you know of me

That's just packaging

It's a slow burn

You're a frog in the pot

Expectations dying

An invisible rot

I'm playing

This winless, never ending game

The more I fight

The more my power

Gets taken away

It's a slow burn

You're a frog in the pot

Expectations dying

An invisible rot
