about
“slip away” is meant to capture us, as we are…
“searching for ways to live/work without the need for spectacle”
“balancing behaving within the mold that’s been forced onto me, and just destroying it altogether!”
“acknowledging a past that has kept me so closed, anxious abt failure, and spiritually imbalanced.”
I’m happy to deliver an honest song + allow it to flow through your ears.
sincerely,
Cleo Reed
lyrics
I’m jumping a-head, mama said take your time,
So worried ‘bout the destination, forgot to climb,
I get so locked up in my own mind, you might find
that every single bone up in my body tellin’ me to listen to my soul instead!
And if I think abt it too much, it might slip away [x3]
And if I think about it too much, too much, too much, much, much
Yeah! Is that a crime, movin’ to my rhythm and rhyme?
Greed got you stuck in complications? That ain’t alright.
Me say, get high up off ya own vibe, and das fine
Cuz even when ya lonely, round the phonies u got homies carryin’ u thru da fuck shit!
And if I think abt it too much, it might slip away [x2]
And it’s the things that I can’t touch, they might slip away
And if I think about it too much, too much, too much, much, much
