Fading Memory - Ezo (Lyric)

Описание: (Verse 1)
The edges are curling on the polaroid in my hand
Like a coastline disappearing underneath the rising sand
I can almost see the color of the jacket that you wore
But the shade of blue is leaking out onto the wooden floor
It’s January 2026, and I’m losing hold of the light
The details of your face are slipping further into night
I try to call your image up, to see you clear and plain
But you’re just a smudge of charcoal in a heavy coat of rain.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m terrified of the morning when I wake up and realize
That I can’t remember the exact reflection in your eyes
I’m grasping at the static, I’m chasing down the blur
Trying to find the person that you were... that we were.
(Chorus)
And you’re just a fading memory, a ghost in the machine
A flicker of a silhouette in a movie I haven’t seen
I’m reaching for the outline, but my hands just pass through air
Leaving me with the hollow scent of what used to be there
The harder I try to keep you, the faster you dissolve
A puzzle with no pieces left for my heart to solve
Just a fading, fading memory.
(Verse 2)
I walked past the old park bench where we carved our names in wood
But the weather’s smoothed it over like it never even stood
I heard a laugh that sounded like your voice across the street
But it was just a trick of wind and the rhythm of the fleet
The way you used to take your coffee, the way you said my name
Every day the "knowing" doesn't feel quite the same
I’m a library on fire, watching all the pages turn to grey
Watching every "always" slowly drift away.
(Chorus)
Yeah, you’re just a fading memory, a ghost in the machine
A flicker of a silhouette in a movie I haven’t seen
I’m reaching for the outline, but my hands just pass through air
Leaving me with the hollow scent of what used to be there
The harder I try to keep you, the faster you dissolve
A puzzle with no pieces left for my heart to solve
Just a fading, fading memory.
(Bridge)
Is it a mercy? Or is it a curse?
To watch the best of us turn into the worst?
To lose the way you smelled, to lose the way you felt
Like a winter's first frost starting to melt.
Once you were my world, now you’re just a stain
Of a beautiful dream I’m trying to retain.
(Guitar Solo - Distant, echoing, and washed out, like a sound heard underwater)
(Chorus)
Oh, you’re just a fading memory, a ghost in the machine
A flicker of a silhouette in a movie I haven’t seen
I’m reaching for the outline, but my hands just pass through air
Leaving me with the hollow scent of what used to be there
The harder I try to keep you, the faster you dissolve
A puzzle with no pieces left for my heart to solve.
(Outro)
I’m forgetting...
The sound of your laugh...
The shape of your smile...
It’s been such a long, long mile.
Going...
Going...
Gone.
(The music slows down and the vinyl crackle gets louder until it’s the only thing left, then stops abruptly)
