Into the Background

from Water Rising by Mary Scholz

/

about

"Into the Background" was written in the summer of 2010. Mary wanted to write a song about feeling replaceable without actually using those words - something you could blast and sing along to when you're feeling frustrated. So please - turn it up!

lyrics

I stand within
I stand and grin
For all our words and motions

We wanted life
With all it's worlds
And every drop of every ocean

I let you rewind
And then you
You left me behind

And I will
Fade into the darkness Where I can't be heard
And I will
Chase the silence of your every secret word
Cause I am
Not your answer and I'm not your chosen girl
And I will
Fade Into the Background of your ever changing world

Do you see me for everything
Or all I have to offer?

Our every day
Just melted in
With all your broken books
And rafters

And I will
Fade into the darkness Where I can't be heard
And I will
Chase the silence of your every secret word
Cause I am
Not your answer and I'm not your chosen girl
And I will
Fade Into the Background of your ever changing world

Trade me in
Trade me because you
You know you can
Trade me in because it's
It's easier then
Trade me in because you know if you will and you would
Then you'd win

Fade into the darkness Where I can't be heard
And I will
Chase the silence of your every secret word
Cause I am
Not your answer and I'm not your chosen girl
And I will
Fade Into the Background of your ever changing world

Fade Into the Background of your ever changing world

Fade Into the Background of your world....
