Fading Away

I touch your spine
And count your vertebrae every one
I feel your ribs
Beneath your paper skin they crowd

And I am overcome and guilty
I am eaten up with shame
I am branded by these memories
Of your slow decline

Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away

I wish that I
Could take back all the words that I said
Time heals the wounds
But what about the scars they leave behind?

And I am overcome and guilty
I am eaten up with shame
I am branded by these memories
Of your slow decline

Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away

Lying there on an expanse of white
Like a skeleton in the snow
Lying silent, like a stillborn child
In an amniotic glow

You look so small
You look so small
You look so small
You look so small

I feel so small
I feel so small
I feel so small
I feel so God damn small

And I am overcome and guilty
I am eaten up with shame
I am branded by these memories
Of your slow decline

Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away

Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
