Slipstream Songtext
von Chasing Zeniths

Fast times
In the winds of freedom
Swept up in the breeze
High tide
Drowning in elation
Lost way out at sea

At the end of the pier they lie whispering
As my eyes drink of the world I′ve discovered
In a moment's surreption, distress tingling
A conversation′s due

Time to try confidence
Never been hurt by this
Axiom composure
Genuine, singular
The spotlight breathes alight
As I stand before the best days of my life

Long nights, effortless and vain
Hindsight closing in on me


Warning signs compounding
And my trust can't see the truth confounding
Everything that made you different
How the lone do lose

Trials in confidence
Actions are evident
And words betray you deeply
Your gracious guise starts to bleed
And I cannot pretend
That your path has not descended deep
My friend

Astray from the lifeline you betrayed
Your fictions never sway
Eighteen miles away

Outside of the riptide you purvey
The crowd begins to fade
Eighteen miles away

Impelling storms
In your pride, in your pain
All tempted you to be free
As you spend your years
To learn truths I still know
I won't be wasting my days


Time to try confidence
Wary of its sweet caress
In light of my cognizance
I will remain provident
Though tides may not convey me
And the way will not come easy
The helm is all mine
As I steer away from promised lands and lies

Caught in the slipstream, I′m
Watching your ship pass by
The ripples warning downstream
Of cliffs I′ve never stood on
The water falls from heights
And I know that I must fly
From here, goodbye
From here, goodbye
From here, goodbye
From here, goodbye
From here, goodbye
