Fade Away

"Fade Away"

Please let me go
Please just let me go
This time won't you please let me fade away
like sand passing through fingers
and dirt washed from the skin

I can't hold on forever
Please let me fade
because I've held on this long
folding my arms shut
around the dry night air

And it burns
as I breathe the last life
swallowing the ashes from this fire
see it glow inside my heart
see it fade away again

With all the tears you cried
and all the nights I died
just to be brought back to life
and formulate my hearts decention
in hopes to fade

Dreams are swept away with the cold
and I will never know that
we are left to ponder the possibilities
you would have seen what could have been
and I will just fade.
