fading

from REVERSED by the garages

fading by Deidra Skye (deidraskye.bandcamp.com)

the wind crawls through
my hollow chest
the tide falls over
a life i almost dreamt

grace lost in the swirling flood
dust to dust and blood to blood
waning memories
of a life of lives half lived

fading into the sound
lost in between the waves
falling through a starless sky
now i cant find my way back home

a replica of the dead
a faint shadow cast overhead
who would you be if you weren't afraid
of the light

looking through the eyes
of another life
hoping to find grace
hidden in a faint reflection

fading into the sound
lost in between the waves
falling through a starless sky
now i cant find my way back home
