Fade Lyrics

It's on these Monday afternoons
Greyest weather
That my thoughts tend to drift towards
That empty room
Your son is drowning in the floods
And no one knows to save him
Perhaps I made a grave mistake

And now as days melt into years
Disregarded
Cast aside dismissed thrown away and disposed
Your friend does damage to himself
And no one dares to save him
Perhaps we both made a mistake

The stench of beauty smell the flame extinguished
Cries erupting exposed to the light of day
When laughing mimics will succeed to toss this angel
From the sky and laugh as they molest his wings
The obvious is coming true
But I can't help but think of you
Waiting and killing everything that once lived inside of me

A thousand years without a touch
A thousand sleepless moonless nights
A thousand open wrists and screams
Could not convey
A million years without the sun
A million upward clutching hands of dying parents
Could not convey

The frost is accumulating behind my eyes
And now my shadow seems so strikingly black
Barren testaments to a forgotten yesterday
That fade deeper with each passing dawn
Come back I beg you for just one moment
To remove this glass that seperates us
From the world
From knowing life
From feeling anything
We fade
