Fading Away
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
I never thought that I would want to die
If you really knew me you would know that's a lie
Why do I gotta be this way?
Why do I feel like fading away?
I never thought that I would wanna die
If you really knew me you would know that's a lie
Why do I gotta be this way?
Why do I feel like fading away?

[Verse 1]
Never thought that I would wanna die
If you really knew me you would know that's a lie
Lord I try, to hold back the darkness attacking me
Happy when it's quiet and there's room to breath easily
Lately I've been losing my mind, maybe cause I thought that we could get another try
'Cause I was always told that the charm was on the third time
Lookin' past the lies in your eyes
Why do I feel like fading away?
Aiming to escape the demons living in this place
Shrouded by a shadow so nobody sees my face
Spaced out lookin' for some simple head space
[Chorus]
Never thought that I would wanna die
If you really knew me you would know that's a lie
Why do I gotta be this way?
Why do I feel like fading away?
I never thought that I would wanna die
If you really knew me you would know that's a lie
Why do I gotta be this way?
Why do I feel like fading away?

[Verse 2] (sung by Atlas)
Yo, I just wanna fade into the gray
Slowly driftin' into yet another lazy day
Break away from making payments of my paper to the bank and trying to smile before they take it all away
Ain't it obvious the ominous can follow in dismay
I'm used to living, never getting any praise
Even when I'm in the sunlight it's like I'm in the shade
Sweeping shadows off the carpet of mistakes I think I made

[Bridge] (sung by Atlas)
And it's a beaten pattern that I follow, always tasting sour in the pride I often swallow
Every day I wonder if I live to see tomorrow, and every day I wonder if it's worth it in the first place
I forget my birthday every single year, it's just another day of contemplating why I'm here
'Cause time is just a construct, although it's one I fear, I wish I was anything as strong as I appear. (Fuck)
