Fade
“Better to burn out than fade away”
Indifferent complicated muster fading
Still the better just to fade, I say:
Observe the final glimmer glowing
Dissipated TV figures into silence vanish
Pushed away like breath the slim existence
Still most appear on vapors final blow
Leaving body burden burnish badly
So the living languish winding woe
Quotation attributed to Neil Young
