Fade Away

I see you in my dreams, I see you in my day, I hear your voice calling even though 
you're so far away. Whispering to me, calling my name, its a voice often chilled by 
sorrow and pain. In the light of the day it slow and fades, but in the darkness of 
night, it grows louder begging me to ask "are you okay". 

 

Hiding from these problems, running from the shame, afraid of facing the truth 
though its all the same. I don't know why I'm scared of this, it seams that all the 
answers are hit and miss. I see you standing there so close I can see it, yet so 
far I can't feel it. 

 

I'm wasting away, slipping through the cracks of the shadowing doubt, I don't 
wanna fade away, but now I fear there is no way out. The new moon rises, in this 
night so cold, as the clouds roll in shadowing my soul. The light fades as 
darkness sets in, alone in this place as another evening ends. 

 

The darkness fades and the light brightens my room on this day, only to reveal to 
me your agony and pain, I wish I could only end this suffering. I've found you in 
you're corner, I'll pull you out of the clouds, why are you in such a hurry, you don't 
wanna be lost in the crowd. 

 

All the pain you've suffered through, and everything they've done to you, the light in 
your eyes fades, as your joy gives in to a teardrops way. Smiling as though 
theres nothing wrong, always now I've been your friend all along. 

 

I'll help you avoid what you could've been, help to erase the memories of them. 
Just as you've brought light back to my day, I'll help make sure the light in your 
eyes never again fades. I'm through with all the pain, because neither of us 
wants to fade away.
