Fading
Arcane
Dear you
You know who you are
Thought I wouldn't make it this far
I thought I'd never hear a voice like yours again
Catch myself humming it every now and then
The tune I taught myself to hate
The day I called out, just too late
Like broken matchsticks out of place
She lay cold and lifeless
While I screamed what seemed like silence
At unrelenting rivers of cold and empty eyes
Unrelenting rivers of cold and empty eyes
Til mine met yours
But you are there
How could I forget?
This was her last day
Was her last day
Until my eyes met yours
A tune broke the silence
I carried with me
A growing crescendo
Soaring ever higher, higher
The rivers and dismissals fade
Into obscurity
I begged you to take me
To take me instead please
Just let her stay please
Take me instead
Please
I begged you to take me instead
But you looked right through me
As she faded away
Forget this
I'm done
