I’ll just fade away…
Forget the promise of a new day.
I’ll just walk away…
Forget the burdens of a new day.
I don’t want to die.
I don’t want to die.
I want to fall into the sky.
I’ll take comfort in having my head in the clouds.
I’ll go high, as high as this dirty ceiling allows.
I won’t cry.
I won’t cry.
I’ll blot out the sun and sleep, sleep for hours…
And then I’ll fade away.

This is rather beautiful, like a soft breeze on a warm and soft high noon.

I think this would make a really good song.
