Fading

A Movie Script Ending

Fading


Whenever I Come Back 
The Air On the Railroad Is Making the Same Sounds. 
And the Shop Fronts On Holly Are Dirty Words (Astericks in For the Vowels) 

We Peered Through the Windows 
New Bottoms On Barstools 
But the People Remain the Same. 
With Prices Inflating 
Inflating 

As If Saved From the Gallows 
There's a Bellow of Buzzers 
And the People Stop Working 
And They're All So Excited 
Excited 

Passing Through Unconscious States 
When I Awoke I Was On the Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 

With Your Hands On My Shoulders 
A Meaningless Movement 
A Movie Script Ending 
And the Patrons Are Leaving 
Leaving 

Passing Through Unconscious States 
When I Awoke I Was On the Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 

Now We Know All 
The Words Were True 
In the Sappiest Songs (Yes, Yes) 
I'll Put Them to Bed 
But They Won't Sleep 
They're Just Shuffling the Sheets 
They Toss and Turn 
(You Can't Begin to Get It Back) 

Passing Through Unconscious States 
When I Awoke 
I Was On the Onset of a Later Stage 
The Headlights Are Beacons On the Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway 
Highway
