Don't Let My Ink Fade

I'm
Sitting on the edge
Of an unexpected moment
An outlier
A shiver in time

A twist of irony
In this biography
Don't know where I'll be
In the next line

Stay with me in this
Place
I don't want to be
Erased
Please don't let my ink
Fade

I grew up inside my head
It was safer to escape there
From hostile worlds
From troubling times

Now I'm left to face
A mass of empty space
Have I wound up
On the last page?

Get me out of this
Place
I don't want to be
Erased
Please don't let my ink
Fade

Oh, remain
I hope you stay
I hope you stay
Remain
A shot away
I hope you stay

Stay with me in this
Place
I don't want to be
Erased
Stay with me in this
Place
Read me 'til the last
