The Sound of My Own Name Fading

作曲：Nob Vanne

作词：Nob Vanne

I walked past the mirror and I didn't see a face

Just a collection of shadows and a hollowed out space

I whispered it softly to the steam on the glass

Watching the syllables flickering past

It used to be a song when it came from your tongue

Back when the world and the always were young

Now it's a relic a worn out old coin

A bridge that no longer has two sides to join

And I'm listening to the sound of my own name fading

A slow motion ghost and I'm tired of evading

The M is a mumble the E is a sigh

A dissolving vapor in a charcoal sky

You took the music and you took the light

Leaving me nameless in the middle of the night

It's a quiet eraser a steady cold shade

And the sound of my own name fading

The mill on the table is addressed to a ghost

To the version of me that you needed the most

I read the letters I see the ink on the page

But it feels like a script for a different age

If I scream it to the rafters will the wood remember

The fire we started back in November

Or is it just carbon is it just smoke

The punchline of a very long very cruel joke

Who am I now if you want me to say it

A broken stringed instrument

With no one to play it a gown

With no meaning

A verb with no force

A river that's lost

Every sense of its course

And I'm listening to the sound of my own name fading

Slow motion ghost that I'm tired of evading

The M is a mumble

The E is a sigh

A dissolving vapor in a charcoal sky

You took the music and you the light

Leaving me nameless in the middle of the night

It's a quiet eraser

A steady cold shade

And the sound of my own name

Fading say it once more just so I know

Before the last echoes decide to go

Is anyone there does it even ring true

The name that I had

When I belonged to you

Fading

Fading
