Fade Away Slow

Assume the light
Isn’t too dark
Your teeth have fallen out
After they made their mark
You seemed to look
(Assistance came to lend)
Right through me
(A hand but you’re no realist
You’re tongue tied)
I couldn’t show you how
(Assistance came to lend)
To quit your trust or leave
(A hand but you’re no realist
You’re tongue tied)
Now that I’m turning back
You start to read
Here is my word
A contest has begun
Here comes the soothing part of me
Sense my words contextualize love
Here comes the soothing part of me
The center dark
Consumes the light
Has anybody read
The sentence that you hide
(Assistance came to lend)
You seemed to look
Straight through me
(A hand but you’re no realist
You’re tongue tied)
I couldn’t turn away
(Assistance came to lend)
You pulled from underneath
(A hand but you’re no realist
You’re tongue tied)
Now that you’re turning in
I start to breathe
Here is my word
A contest has begun
Here comes the soothing part of me
Sense my words contextualize love
Here comes the soothing part of me
