Glass - Remain[fSl]Rust (,,Fade Away’')

With the past in our eyes
We moved through the world
Erasing the shapes
Of memory
Pulling apart the flesh
Reshaping our bones
Diluting our blood
With each other's

From the inside it seemed
Like we could remain there
And let our bodies drown
But we pushed it away
It all became vapor
Our defenses let us down

And the woods were ablaze
The sky was a scathing sheet
Of cold intention, I
Couldn't look away
From everything we had
Set in motion on that day

When we removed the skin
From what we'd become
The sinew and bones
Were rotting
Something missing inside
That could have sustained
The chemical state
Of knowing

From the outside it seemed
Like we could move forward
And gently fade away
But the memory stuck
The veins became tangled
And the blood inside turned grey

And the woods were ablaze
The sky was a scathing sheet
Of cold intention, I
Couldn't look away
From everything we had
Set in motion on that day

In another world
Machinery of deception
Rusted and decayed
In another time
The motions of our undoing
Wrote what we became
