[Verse 1] Toxic empathy, You wear it like a badge No, no sympathy, supposed to be gentle not a sledge Do not let your heart rule your head tonight I watched it start to bend then it lost the fight Slippery slope sliding right under our feet One small lie, one small look and the whole thing slips to deep [Pre-Chorus] We said it was fine We said it was clean Then the line got blurred and the edges turned mean [Chorus] Slippery slope slippery slope We fall so slow (we fall so slow) Society allows it then it becomes the ghost Slippery slope slippery slope [Bridge] The Bible foretold it true, about difference of me and you A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fools heart at his left when he that is a fool walketh by the way, wisdom fails and saith to everyone they're a fool a woke fool, don't let that be you too [Verse 2] Toxic empathy, it smiles with sharpened teeth You call it being kind I call it rot beneath No, no sympathy, when the damage starts to show The little things we pardon are the things that grow Society allowing every crack in the wall Till the room fills up with the sound of the fall [Pre-Chorus] We said it was fine We said it was safe Now the fault line hums under every place [Chorus] Slippery slope slippery slope We fall so slow (we fall so slow) Society allows it then it becomes the ghost Slippery slope slippery slope [Bridge] If we call it out now maybe we can break the chain Before the soft excuse turns into the stain One step, one slip and the ledge gets close We name it now or we lose the most [Chorus] Slippery slope slippery slope We fall so slow (we fall so slow) Society allows it then it becomes the ghost Slippery slope slippery slope [ (C) 2026 Joseph M Lenard media SEND US FEEDBACK (via CTP Show): https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new - https://tinyurl.com/SubscribeToCTP - CTP Audios: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBuzzsprout - CTP Videos: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBITCHUTE - https://tinyurl.com/CTPgear - https://tinyurl.com/JLenardDetroitGear - AI images/videos/audio CTP uses: https://tinyurl.com/GalaxyMagicaAI - https://tinyurl.com/BookPromotionViaFiverr - other services: https://fiverr.com/jlenarddetroit ]
