The World's Greatest Fadeout

from Stereo Goes Stellar by Stereo Goes Stellar

/

lyrics

She dreams when she sleeps,
I know because I watch her thoughts collide with the sheets,
They tangle in the blankets, then they tangle in me,
And the pictures from her mind seem to render me entwined in the life she'll lead,
And now I can't breathe.

It's been far too long and it's not about the love or not,
It's about right and wrong when you're no longer distracted by the wood piling on,
To the fire that will rage to my effigy on stage to a moral crowd,
I heard them scream so loud.

When misappropriation takes on a four letter word,
It seems there's little left to do but just watch the days unfurl,
You swear she'd find a better life if she'd only see,
That you're dragging her down by not setting her free,
You can't push her around while you take what you need.

When the past won't stay gone, you tried to forget her but you've remembered too long,
There's nothing worse than living with what should have lived on,
There's nothing worse than living when you should have just stayed still.

Here's what they'll call the world's greatest fadeout,
My heart turns to sand, but her hour glass was frozen,
And the time that it spans is the time that it takes for me to learn from my mistakes,
But I never will,
I can only stay still.
