Fade

You cast the first stone With the best intentions; juxtaposed A lingering feeling trapped inside but you refuse to leave Move right through me Transcend and leave me where I lay An apparition; a shade of who you used to be I'll bury you in a shallow grave A place where the rest of me can fade I'll keep my feelings locked away Until the rain uncovers you again Consumed by silence A guilty conscience; I release a fleeting feeling A glimpse of light grows faint Waste away; drown in myself Unable to reach out for help Consumed by silence A guilty conscience; I release a fleeting feeling A glimpse of light grows faint Waste away; drown in myself And you're not here to save me from this hell One day your memory will fade Now I'm alone to walk amongst the graves Flowers faint Uprooted; left to decay A fragile hand grasped tight Only strangers by your side Slip away from life Only strangers by your side
