Adagio

[jinx]

slow to run
slow to leave
slow to let myself believe
that this is more than i've conceived
a slower pace
is what i need
i'll take my precious time
but i'll take you along with me
strap in; enjoy the ride.

i'm slow to falter, slower to stall
slow at breaking down my wall
but you, with stilts
and iron fists
have made a rift, i can't resist
i've let you in
i won't forget
the fire of stars and happiness......

[Jack]

That reminds me of the Matt Elliott song "Also Ran" from The Mess We Made (not that I'm saying you did it on purpose, you've probably never heard it). It goes:

Also ran, also fell.
Surprised to find yourself in Hell.
Also stole, also lied.
I can't wait for you to die.
For those sins you suffered we
I will haunt you in your sleep.
All the ghosts that you see
are a reflection of me.
