Novel
I know how much you try to love
I know just why you stay above
Fading out becomes your heaven
It’s stay away or be forsaken
I know how much it takes to hide it
I know why you have to fight it
Loneliness will pave the way down
Giving up becomes a playground
I know the reasons death will haunt you
I know why you’ll always pull through
Fading out becomes decision
Just let go and watch collisions
I know I will only hurt you
One more story full of virtue
Turn the pages, decide the ending
Change the chapter before we’re burning
I know nothing but what’s in me
I know nothing of what you can see
It’s just another lesson forced inside us
Soon the test will break away our trust
I know what happens once we have left
I know our lives will come to meet a theft
Hearts will die and roads will fall apart
Souls will fade and minds will fuel some art
