Trying to make sense of what once was
Is a lonely place to be
To take these shreds and make them fit again
Seems impossible to me
Yet have them in my heart
A floating painful puzzle
The remains of passed by life
Something I will never have again
Pieces of a fading world
Where I once lived and knew it all to be
A place where everything
Converged right into me
As the years passed by
There was no afterthought at all
Everything had to burn and fade
To make room for the newer way
Yet I still linger
On the thought that I should have stayed
In that slowly fading place
That has soon all gone away
Pieces of a fading world
Where I once lived and knew it all to be
A place where everything
Converged right into me
Pieces of a fading world
They still remain in me
Slowly replaced, day by day
But still somehow, still remain in me
