Fading Lights

Yeah…

404

I been runnin’ from myself again, yeah

Late nights, can’t sleep, mind racin’

Dark thoughts in my head, I’m facin’

Everybody sayin’ that I’m changin’

But they don’t feel the war that I’m caged in

Fake smiles, I’m breakin’ inside

I wear pain like a mask, I hide

Don’t know who to trust these days

Friends turn fake in a hundred ways

I got scars that no one sees

Drownin’ in my memories

I scream but it echoes back

No love when your heart turns black

I’ve been fallin’ down this hole

Can’t feel my soul no more

If I fade out, would you notice me?

Or would I die in my misery?

Fadin’ lights, I’m slippin’ through

Demons callin’ — they want somethin’ new

No one’s there when I’m breakin’ down

So I light this blunt just to drown it out

Don’t tell me to smile, I’m tired of pretendin’

My hope died, and I’m done defendin’

I might fall, but I won’t give in

‘Cause even in the dark, I’m still fightin’ to win

Look—

All these voices in my head, I’m used to ‘em

Thoughts too loud, I can’t mute ‘em

I’ve been through hell, walked through fire

Still standin’ but I’m so damn tired

People love you ‘til you break

Then they vanish without a trace

I gave too much, now I’m drained

Heart iced out, full of pain

They never saw the tears I cried

Only judged what’s on the outside

But I’m more than what I show

Just a kid with a broken soul

Every night I pray for peace

But peace don’t ever pray for me

If I go, would they care?

Or just scroll like I’m never there?

Fadin’ lights, I’m slippin’ through

Demons callin’ — they want somethin’ new

No one’s there when I’m breakin’ down

So I light this blunt just to drown it out

Don’t tell me to smile, I’m tired of pretendin’

My hope died, and I’m done defendin’

I might fall, but I won’t give in

‘Cause even in the dark, I’m still fightin’ to win

Yeah…

404

Still here… still breathin’…

Even when the light’s fadin’
