Fade Away

-VERSE1- Clawing under my skin Tearing at me within You will not take over You will just grow colder Forcing yourself through me As you try to take my body I will fight you through this You're never gonna win -BRIDGE1- I'll keep you down Bitter and afraid I'll drown you out Dead and dismayed! -CHORUS- You won't steal my life Why can't you just see You won't win this time You can't ever be me You can't take my face I'm the master of my existence You can't take my place So now I banish you Good riddance! -VERSE2- You'll always just be nothing Like a mannequin; not quite alive You'll always be a faded replica Jaded and hollow inside Parallel mirrored 'til the end You are the one restrained I'll keep you silent forever You're just a living stain -BRIDGE1- I'll keep you down Bitter and afraid I'll drown you out Dead and dismayed! -CHORUS- You won't steal my life Why can't you just see You won't win this time You can't ever be me You can't take my face I'm the master of my existence You can't take my place So now I banish you Good riddance! -BRIDGE2- If you can even beat me, I'd love to see you try There's no way around it, you're the same as I -CHORUS- You won't steal my life Why can't you just see You won't win this time You can't ever be me You can't take my face I'm the master of my existence You can't take my place So now I banish you Good riddance! -OUTRO- You can't be me You won't beat me So just give up.. Fade away!
