Fade Out
You know what's happening-it's happened before
When you know you're alone and you crawl on the floor
You beg to the sky for just one scrap of hope
Cos' you're telling yourself you can learn how to cope
Then one day while you're asking instead for some shade
You realize that a change has been made
It will crush you and burn you and cause you to bleed
Here you thought all along that you had what you need
You know there's an answer-somehow you can't find it
Do you think if you wear it you'll manage to hide it?
But time's running out and you feel like you're frozen
Feel all that pain and taste all that poison
Nobody knows you so they try to explain you
Those questions just seem like they're trying to drain you
And you can't find the answers they've glued on the wall
The more you try reaching the harder you fall
So finally lay down;let yourself fade away
Life says "it was nice-come and see me someday!"
