Slow Fade

And the best thing right now
Is the fact that I'm picking it up again
Despite random thoughts of the end of it
Shallow comfort
That relieves me of doubt
And suppresses the lure of security
Sedating the call of reality
Shelved intentions
Seldom mentioned
Can I stay put for now
So the mess is now piling up again
And I shovel it under the rug again
Shallow comfort
'till the stress starts to show
And I'll struggle under the scrutiny
Of what I thought was infinity
Shelved intentions
Back in question
But it's the best thing for now
And the best thing right now
Is the fact that I'm picking it up again
Despite random thoughts of the end of it
Shallow comfort
That relieves me of doubt
And I'll struggle under the scrutiny
Of what I thought was infinity
Shelved intentions
Back in question
But it's the best thing for now
And I won't
Count days
Slow fade
This living is sound
And I trust
There's ways
To maintain
These truths that I know
...'cause it's all that I know
