Sparkle / Fade

(album: Counting Flies - 2019)

Waking up every day to choirs that speak in tongue
My heavy eyes pull me down to times when I was young
I can still feel your skin, hooked on the drugs in you
Devotionless yet innocent, I'm crawling to bad news
Then you

You watch me trip and fall
I sparkle and fade so clean
May I enjoy this?
Let me enjoy this

Cauterized, passing time
Counting the flies on you
Stealing my oxygen, you leave me with no room
There's a taste on my lips, something of rust and glue
Listen here, listen now, I'm giving you bad news
Oh, you

You watch me trip and fall
I sparkle and fade so clean
May I enjoy this?
Let me enjoy this

Dragging on and on in this lie
Dragging on and on in this lie
Down on my knees, singing
Down on my knees
Dragging on and on in this lie
Dragging on and on in this lie
Down on my knees, singing
Down on my knees
