Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Abusive excuses are all I have to hold
Use and reuse to explain why I'm so cold
One for headaches, one for stress
But the one for fear's the one I like best
Abusive excuses they save me every time

[Chorus 1]
The slow slide down
You never can see it
The slow slide down
You always believe it

[Verse 2]
Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies
Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies
Flies for love and flies for sex
But the flies for fear are flies I like best
Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies

[Chorus 2]
The slow slide down
You're trying to change me
It's all my fault
But you never blame me

[Refrain](x3)
It's in everything we do

[Bridge]
One for love and one for sex
But the one for fear's the one I like best
This act is a bore, but it makes me who I am
This act is a bore, but it makes me who I am

[Chorus 3]
The slow slide down
You never can see it
My act is a bore
You always believe it

[Refrain](x7)
