Am I alive or dying?I'm a souvenir from days gone by, I'm a vestige of a bygone timeEchoes of what was fading away,Nothing's leftThis world has served it's course and can't be changedAre they all dead?Brought to a stalemate but it won't resolveThe flow of time has run into a wallNothing's left to alter and my hope has faltered, I'm alone again...You will say I must go on, but how could I live with the things I've done?Deranged and insane, I find I'm right back to square one"Cause I'm losing track of what grounded me to my own sanityI'm a mark left from a faded line, I'm a vestige of a bygone timeI ask who am I, are these memories my own? Am I alive or dying?I'm a souvenir from days gone by, I'm a vestige of a bygone timeI can see everything that's ever happenedAnd I'm left here on my own, wishing I'd just atonedPlease someone, anyone, don't leave me here with these memoriesThey'll never know..."Cause I'm losing track of what grounded me to my own sanityI'm a mark left from a faded line, I'm a vestige of a bygone timeI ask who am I, are these memories my own?

Fading Ashes - A Little Experimentation (OFFICIAL AUDIO) Fading Ashes 2024-04-12 | This song is actually an instrumental, hence the title. I figured it would be fun to include a proggy, experimental, and wordless song in the album, sort of as a nod to how many old musicians used to do that.FYI; there's actually a hidden message in the short audio collage section of the song; the garbled whispering. Reverse the song to hear the message, although you may have trouble making it out. The message itself is just a joke, by the way.This song is the seventh track from Fading Ashes' debut self-titled album.
