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!"
