If I close the Factory door and don't see those people anymore
If I give in yo infamy...I'll slowly slip away

It's good to hear a crazy voice that will not slip away
Will not slip away

why your thoughts could slowly slip away
| F | Bb | F | F
If I have to lock the door, another life exists no more, slip away
