lyrics

"The Fade" by Dane Petersen

Do you feel your chest break
when a ghost has taken what's inside
The Earth shakes
Are these the hidden signs
what our future looks like
Questioning everything
more & more although it's harder to breathe
It's harder to breathe
But at least I fucking know I'm living

Feeling like a slave
To society to something
Feeling every wave
as it hits me

Save me
Save me from myself, the fade
Though it hurts
take them instead
There are those who's eyes shine brighter

But I work at it everyday
I've got a family & friends & a life to live, you see
I guess I'm sorry that, to me, a piece of paper
doesn't take precedent over my human nature
And all we had left to free
were our minds
Liberated in time
Fuck what I came with, I'm seeking the truth
living with you

Save me
Save me from myself, the fade
Though it hurts
take them instead
There are those who's eyes shine brighter
Than mine, than mine
Those eyes

And I've grown tired at the sight of my own
I look so close at the world around
my mind continues to blow
Is it the first or last, we'll never know
I might be young but I've got something to show

Save me
Save me from myself, the fade
Though it hurts
take them instead
There are those who's eyes shine brighter
Than mine, than mine
Those eyes

Tell me I can't
Tell me It's out of my hands
Tell me to stop
But you know that I always had to
