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

[Chrous x3]

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
