Fading Away, Tricia Cicatrix [the giving tree read aloud TXT] 📗

Fading Away


Days pass me by, nights are now starless
I'm lost in the bright lights, fall apart in the darkness
Whatever happened, what have I done
Is this the end, I'm under my thumb
Wanted the world and was willing to pay
Now how come I keep on fading away?

Tried it all, never went far enough
Turned you down when you were moving up
Used to live and used to see
Now there's no one left to be
Did what I could, stuck to fair play
So how come I keep on fading away?

I wasted my time circling uncertainly
I never came 'cross the person I'd like to be
Looked for sincerity, dreamt of reality
Drove them away when they reached out for me
Bought the world and crossed the sea
Now I'm here, alone with me

Up in the attic, my head on my knees
Sitting in silence just watching the trees
Wanted to tell you - the words wouldn't come
Is this the end, what have I done?
Loved you and hated you, day after day
But how come I keep on fading away?
Wanted the world served on a tray
Well, how come I keep on fading away?
Don't need to speak now, there's nothing to say
How come I keep on fading away?
How come I keep on fading away?
