lyrics

Slippery
Words & Music by Sara Hickman

Closing
My eyes
Looking but not seeing
Here in the darkest room
I have ever been in
Slippery things slip through my fingers
Keeps me wondering

I’m searching
For something
Gnawing at my soul
Here in this bottomless pit
My stomach is grumbling
I sure hope that I don’t quit
Before I find peace of mind

Oh, I can believe in myself
Like never before
Oh, something within me
Is leading me to
An open door…

Life just keeps getting faster
But I refuse to speed up
I won’t allow myself to be blown around town
Like a broken down paper cup
I’m gonna sit right down
On solid ground
And remember what sitting is for
What’s the sitting for?
What is sitting for?

Opening
My eyes
Finding what I was searching for
Here in the brightest room
I have ever seen
Oh, slippery things slip through the night
Passing me by
In the strangest dream
La da da da di da da da da da da
