Decay Lyrics

I'm trying to stay on a straight line

To claim some purpose to this long goodbye

Is this the start of my slow decay

I've lost myself, I've lost my way

I lost my way

I start my slow decay

You stare right through me, day by day

You no longer see

Who I used to be

I'm still here

Don't leave me just to fade away my dear

I'll place your name before I decay

A stranger visits and we embrace

I know their stories, but not their face

I sense your frustration, it's justified

But stay a while and be my guide

You stare right through me, day by day

You no longer see

Who I used to be

I'm still here

Don't leave me just to fade away my dear

I'll place your name before I decay

I clutch at all the pieces

Anxiety increases

Such a long goodbye

I reach for words

I hesitate on signing my own name

I will be heard

I feel an absence that I can't reclaim

You stare right through me, day by day

You no longer see

Who I used to be

I'm still here

Don't leave me just to fade away my dear

I'll place your name before I decay
