Fading

Ascending through the tissues, fractures, raging cells
The inner force of life builds up the flesh and spreads
Pushing so hard, willing so strong
No matter what comes, regardless of all, what for?...

Descending through the weakening force, the downward walk
Shrinking egos, shredded mind, awareness of the grave
The ending is always the same
As simple as it sounds, as obvious as ever, it all just ends

All these things you want to believe, just a need to prove you belong
All you think you want to achieve, just a mind's trick to make you proceed

"I am not what happened to me, I am what I chose to become"
Oh you wish you could say that, oh you wish for so much

So concerned about things that come next
You forget this short moment you live in
You will never have anything else
Embrace the obvious before you've gone

"The reality is what it is, not what you want it to be"
Every life comes with a death sentence

Look around and lit things lie
Now you see what you've done to the world
And you see what the world has done to you

Look around and lit things lie
Now you see what you've done to the world
And you see what the world has done to you

Look around and lit things lie
Now you see what you've done to the world
And you see what the world has done to you
