05_Jahn_Fade_Away

Jahn

You’re painting a dead end
Capturing traces
Of throwaway faces
You memorize lines
You smother your fire
To better appeal to the maddening crowd

I’m aware
Setting you dead to rights when it’s easy to blame you for finishing fine
When the final line is answered

Fade away
We are Shadows ourselves
And these Cells that we fashion
Our passionate gaze upon
Mention - they fade
Ooh upon mention they fade away

You signal a transfer
Waiting for signs of a Telegraphed kindness
Informing the wise
You stutter you tire
Of a maddening crowd that could care less for you

I’m aware
that it’s Just a game And you’re treating my anger with simple disdain
just a single gesture remains

Fade away
We are Shadows ourselves
And these Cells that we fashion
Our passionate gaze upon
mention – a ransom
you mention them for a ransom

Fade away
We are Shadows ourselves

I’m aware
Setting you dead to rights when it’s easy to blame you for finishing fine
When the final line is answered

it’s Just a game you only remain…to fade away
