Fade Away Slow

Assume the light
Isn’t too dark
Your teeth have fallen out
After they made their mark

You seemed to look (assistance came to lend a hand)
Right through me (but you're no realist, you're tongue-tied)
(Tongue-tied)
I couldn’t show you how (assistance came to lend a hand)
To quit your trust or leave (but you're no realist, you're tongue-tied)
Now that I'm turning back
You start to read

Here's my word
A contest has begun
Here comes the soothing part of me
Sense my words contextualize love
Here comes the soothing part of me

The center dark
Consumes the light
Has anybody read
The sentence that you hide

You seemed to look (assistance came to lend a hand)
Straight through me (but you're no realist, you're tongue-tied)
(Tongue-tied)
I couldn’t turn away (assistance came to lend a hand)
You pulled from underneath (but you're no realist, you're tongue-tied)
Now that you’re turning in
I start to breathe

Here's my word
A contest has begun
Here comes the soothing part of me
Sense my words contextualize love
Here comes the soothing part of me
