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

(We all hide behind)

Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away

If you can hear this, if you can feel this

(We all want to be set free)

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
