I’m Fading

(Verse 1)

The ice is melting in a cracked plastic cup

I’m staring at the ceiling, looking for an up

The couch is sinking lower, eating my pride

There’s nowhere left to run or to hide

I strike a match and watch the sulfur flare

Just a little bit of poison in the heavy air.

(Chorus)

And I’m leaning on the porch, drowning in the gray

Washing down the memories of another wasted day

With a glass in my left hand a blunt in my right

I’m just burning through the bottom of a shitty night

Yeah, I’m fading out of focus, losing every link

Between the smoke in my lungs and the ice in my drink.

(Verse 2)

The neighbor’s house lit up more than most

I’m raising a glass for a lonely kind of toast

The liquors amber, the blunts lit bold

The same old story that’s getting old

Every exhale is a ghost I let go

But the glass stays full and the clock moves slow.

(Bridge)

I don’t need the sound, I don’t need the crowd

The silence in my head is getting way too loud

So I’ll take another hit, and I’ll take another sip

Before the whole damn world starts to lose grip.

(Chorus)

And I’m leaning on the porch, drowning in the gray

Washing down the memories of another wasted day

With a glass in my left hand a blunt in my right

I’m just burning through the bottom of a shitty night

Yeah, I’m fading out of focus, losing every link

Between the smoke in my lungs and the ice in my drink.

(Outro)

Smoke and the ice...

Everything's cold...

Everything's burning...

Just let it go.

Yeah, let it go
