THE FADE

Everything seems so stupid to me Maybe I can't think clearly And I'm just going crazy I'm not really sure Let me ponder this Maybe I'll reach a conclusion Everything makes sense At the time it happens Truth be told, I cannot think Four more years and then I stop Look at me, just look And you'll see me fade Quickly I lose myself to nothingness Unless someone can save me It seems so hopeless now To think I once had faith Our trust destroyed Broken by action Entire worlds have been destroyed Not by different things than these I'm at a loss for what it is That makes me feel so gone Only I will know myself At the time when I fade These lies are so true at times How can that be Open my mind and see yourself The way you really are Maybe you'll be shocked And fade just like I do Into the scenery around me Longing to reappear Don't count on it Observe this lesson well That try as you might, Coldness can't be overcome Overcome by a fade Much like yourself Which way should I go Why such a decision When all I want Doesn't involve this mess Only a simplicity That can't be found Simplicity I'd surrender to Haven't you thought about it And attempted this Greed takes you away Greed leads you astray You wander from simplicity Dragging your mind behind you Onto the pavement Ten stories below Crazy thoughts are the safest Only the sane are fearful Maybe we should all go insane And unlock the cave That is our mind Although there are drawbacks Not that I could care This is something that we can do I can show you the way So follow me Onto this sweet simplicity Control your mind It can control you And kill you off instead Let me set you free Don't put up a fight Or you will perish That would disappoint Collect yourself now Open your skin Make room for your new future Savor the taste of this life Heal the old-life battle wounds And be free Get away from your constraints Gather yourself You can be you And no one can stop This newness anymore Stay this way Eternally simple, yet unrefined And undefined This life is undefined The lack of definition Lets you live your life Enters the stream Of your blood Flows to nothing Flaws erased It can't be stopped Can't be slowed down Emaciates your crudeness Drink of this life Our time has just begun The time is here Can't fade now Over at the corner My body fades Omit this bruised memory Return to self And stop the fade Try again Beat it someday Enter this light Never look back Return to simplicity I risk the fade Can't stop the fade Elevate myself to the next level And alleviate the lost souls That surround me Maybe I'll stop the fade Or I will have to fade Go onto the next level Get off and start again Stop myself and surrender Or risk the fade Forget about yourself Think about you Don't do what everyone else does Or you will become victim To the fade Come join me here On the top My little life so simple
