Fade To Black Lyrics

Amorphous emotions, a labyrinth of doubt

High hopes rebuilding, only to fade out

Cyclic desperation, back to square one

Questions unanswered, am I finally done?

Seeking transparency in another's eyes

Soul-bearing rarities, emotional ties

But charity's bitter when all you need

Is someone to listen, someone to heed

Prayers echo in the void, hopes dissolve to dust

Faith corrodes in the face of cosmic mistrust

What do you say when the world turns its back?

Who will embrace you in life's fade to black?

Gratitude battles with comparison's sting

Others have it worse, yet burdens still cling

Self-reliance grows as years pass by

Trim the fat, walk the path, reach for the sky

Fairness, equality - concepts we chase

Reality's harsh truth stares us in the face

Second fiddle to the few, the many fade

In this symphony of life, what role have we played?

Prayers echo in the void, hopes dissolve to dust

Faith corrodes in the face of cosmic mistrust

What do you say when the world turns its back?

Who will embrace you in life's fade to black?

Positivity - a fickle mistress indeed

Reality pushes, but still we proceed

Dreams and intentions - are they enough?

Forsaken in waiting, faith wearing tough

Forsaken... Forsaken...
