Hold My Breath I Am Fading Away.

July 25, 2019

 

Sunshine gives me the shadows of black
Rainstorm brings up the darkest night…
Windy atmosphere touches my soul, hay…
Hold my breath … I am fading away..

These little things put my mind on stake..
That giant man follows me up to the grave…
I was scared and full of fear…Just wanted to say…
Hold my breath I am fading away

Wandering a puppet that was like mine
Hosting a trauma that was kind of me…
Worst were the times…and the days of the day
Hold my breath I am fading away…

Living as a dead as dead is alive…
Innocent as a kid as a kid is naive
Follow up to my grave, nay
Hold my breath I am fading away…

Still looking out of my sight.
Waiting for the time when I could fly
This is this and everything is a lie.
Hold my breath I am fading away.

Stars are so distant…but the light is cool.
Waking up the morning with empty sleep at nights.
The world is a bucket full of blaming eyes
Hold my breath I am fading away.
