Don't Let Me Fade Away

We all hide behind a mask A product of our own self destructive past We all ache for something deeper than the surface Searching for anything to break the name "worthless" Worthless If only we could see the damage we cause ourselves It often seems our best intentions pave the road to hell We do it to ourselves It's got me overwhelmed I've never fallen this far It's never been this dark Take me back to better days Before I was a slave to the choices that I have made There's gotta be a better way, this can't stay Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away I just can't make another day Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away I've been torn down to nothing We all want to be set free Enslaved to emotions or someone We're ripping at the seams Can't seem to stop the bleeding Too blind to see the cycle repeats Feels like I'm made to fail You pick the coffin and I'll drive the nail You pick the coffin and I'll drive the nail Take me back to better days Before I was a slave to the choices that I have made There's gotta be a better way, this can't stay Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away I just can't make another day Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away I've been torn down to nothing We all hide behind a mask We all want to be set free We all hide behind a mask We all want to be set free If you can hear this, if you can feel this Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away If you can hear this, if you can feel this Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away Give me a sign Tell me everything will be alright Give me a sign These idle hands adept for a crime
