Faded like a photograph Don't want you looking at me. I don't want to die young Ignore my pleading Repeat it enough times Maybe death will pass me. Stretched thin like nylon Something that you see as pretty. No blanket of security A fog that fills my vision. Disappear into obscurity Waiting for recognition. Rubbed raw by a cat's claw Watch me as I keep bleeding. Want someone to rely on But you keep on evading. Stare at me, but looked beyond Feel myself degrading. Pulled apart like red yarn Fragments of me missing. Reached out to caress you But saw your body was gone, Tired of this pursuit Decided to withdraw. Feelings like a jigsaw Don't know if I can keep going. © Sofia Villagrana 2020

Nylon - Reprise
Faded like a photograph Don't want you looking at me. I don't want to die young Ignore my pleading Repeat it enough times Maybe death will pass me. Stretched thin like nylon Something that you see as pretty. No blanket of security A fog that fills my vision. Disappear into obscurity Waiting for recognition. Rubbed raw by a cat's claw Watch me as I keep bleeding. Want someone to rely on But you keep on evading. Stare at me, but looked beyond Feel myself degrading. Pulled apart like red yarn Fragments of me missing. Reached out to caress you But saw your body was gone, Tired of this pursuit Decided to withdraw. Feelings like a jigsaw Don't know if I can keep going. © Sofia Villagrana 2020
