The Fade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Settle the smoke and settle the fire
Before all the flames come burning up higher
We settle the score we always want more
Revenge has no end and so we pretend
That love isn't passing us
And life isn't leaving us
And we all aren't gonna be dust
Just standing in the rain and waiting to rust
This is the fade
The way we were made
The things that we gave and the hearts that we break
This is the pain
It runs through our veins
Courses through our dignity and leaves us so tamed
And all of the time the world's passing by
And you don't have a clue how you got here
This is the fade
The way we were made
Just admit that none of it means anything
And it's slipping by oh it's slipping by
Like half the world is wondering why
Oh how did we get so old
Just living life the way we're told
It's like we woke up one day and decided we were done
Looked at ourselves in the mirror
Like who have I become
And I wonder, how can I look so young and feel so old
How did I get to the point where I only know love through what I've been told
So I'll wait / and let the time just fade
So I'll wait / till the fade slips to nothing cause we gave it away
And while we wait we know what's passing us
We stand here while life's leaving us
And we know someday we'll all be dust
Cause I've been stuck my whole life and now I'm screaming enough
