Words fade awaY

Oceans emotionally damage me,
Yet heal me from deep within
Commotions injure me so sweetly…
Regret leaving you once again

Our words fade away
Our words fade away
Our words fade away

Dry away the tears from my eyes
Hide away the shame of our lies
Words fade and hatred festers into awful pride 
Fly away the fears of our lows and highs
Boy, how time flies 
Words degrade us and dread enters deep inside 
When we exchange our goodbyes

Our words fade away
Our words fade away
Our words fade away

I’m devoted to a lonely state of mind
You’re an awesome find and we bind
Into this horrendous frame of heart
Heated up in here with fear, torn apart

Our words fade away
Our words fade away
Our words fade away

Our words fade today

Our words fade away
Our words fade away
Our words fade away

I pray away the pain come what may and I wish you’d be here next to me
In the month of May, 
I deliver my soul from dismay
In the month of May,
I die away, then I’m alive and dive into the waters of flames that fray my body 

Our words fade away 

Words degrade us and dread enters deep inside, disappearing exceedingly
When we exchange our wretched goodbyes
Decaying in the ruins and deepening my rivers, running oh so rapidly 
When we engage in slumberless lullabies

Our words fade away

Dry away the tears from my eyes
Hide away the shame of our lies
Words fade and hatred festers into awful pride 
Fly away the fears of our lows and highs

Words fade and my heart cries
Words fade and my mind tries
To make my lips smile a little longer, longing for a passionate kiss
It makes my friendships sink below the surface, above your shallow surface

Dedicated to the song: Vanish Into You by Lady Gaga
