Warm afternoon
Off in the distance
Discovered a slow rising plume
And I couldn't move
Pulled into doom
Letting the anguish
Wash over me, slowly consume
In all that I do
Leave me to decay
Leave me to decay
Leave me to decay
Cold thoughts collude
Eyes locked on the wreckage
Fracturing, tumbling, spiraling down
Leave me to decay
Leave me to decay
Leave me to decay
When I sit up
I can see all of their nameless faces
Something stirs up
Down in my gut
Long enough for me to try
And stand up
But my heart and legs discover
That is something I can't
Take
Please leave me to decay
