how we fade
i’ve seen a ceiling of screens
shaped like clouds in the sky
i saw a wall, it was all between me
and where i’ll lie
i laid on a bed with my head
spinning zero and one into two
dreaming of you
and how we fade
i laid in a shower of color and numbers
and numbers and words
i opened my eyes and my ears and my eyes
i saw and i heard
i opened my mouth, nothing came out
nothing at all i could do
dreaming of you
and how we fade
i dug a hole
it was only as deep as the ground i had known
i fell asleep
just so i wouldn’t be left to die all alone
i opened my mouth, hoping to shout
hoping the words were true
dreaming of you
dreaming of you
and how we fade
