"I'm Fading Away" Lyrics

It's all dying down now

narrowing,

it's all quieting

in my body


Chorus

I'm fading away into obsolescence

into the cosmos

of the totality of me

I ache as I stretch

as far as I can

from this agony within

misery is never too far


Verse

I wake up with the sting again

waiting for tenderness

I find myself on my back

looking up at the ceiling

I feel my body elevating


Chorus


Verse

Is there any stature to this

Am I now prestigious

A different caliber, quality

I've turned into macrocosmos


Bridge

Is there any dignity in this

will I die in grace

mortality

my extinction from annihilation


Chorus

I'm fading away into obsolescence

into the cosmos

of the totality of me

I ache as I stretch

as far as I can

from this agony within

misery is never too far


I’m fading away

ooooooo

repeat

My Memorial Day Poem #lorijeanfinnila #newpoem

Bitch, bitch in a lonely place 
You laugh at me
I can hear you from afar
You did win though 
Chased me away
Now I walk looking for another place

I see men tilt when they walk
Dented cars
Music I'm unfamiliar and uncomfortable woth
Let's see how far I go

I see a man with all his belongings
Including his trash can
It's small, silver 
And probably fits everything he wants

Another woman sways by
Perhaps to get attention
She did 
She got mine

Many people tilt in this  direction
I'll turn around
How far should I go on my own
Perhaps to the school
Where I always run
Where I know there’s safety
And familiarity.

(That’s when I stopped because I saw the roses.)

 Song Lyrics


Verse


I walk this morning

To keep my body up

Moving, strong in my mind

Life seems so long when I do this


Chorus

There's no reason not to try so hard

There is no diagnosis in life

It's what we lead 

What we do

Living on the edge of death


Verse

Eventually I'll ride across the sky in a tram

To my favorite hiking path

Through the woods with its deep, twisting turns

of isolation in it's hills

Of closed off destinations 

That I scare to deep in my insides

But feel more life


I need that old camper

To attach to a car that I'll pull

When I'm sure I can see

With my mace and bear spray

So I can reach the farthest edge of death

To show people I can make it


Chorus


Verse

I still have a list of things to do

I tire to in my mind

That I can't hold for long


Bridge

Get up and walk

Ride the height car

Hike that same old path that I can

So I can say I made it

I have to make donuts

I don't worry I'm gonna die so soon

It's my next step I look to

It all makes sense


Make donuts

Ride that tram

Make that hill

I will not die

Breathe 

I can make it

One more time

At least in my mind



Chorus


Verse

But I know each step I take 

In this cold breeze

Will lead me to the next step

On the edge of death


So I can

Make donuts

Ride that tram

Make that hill

I will not die

Breathe 

I can make it

One more time

At least in my mind

I can’t believe how successful I feel just waking up earlier in the morning to be outside. I’m completely taken back by that. I was able to write one song outside this week because of this.
