Faded

(Verse 1)
Walking on this road with no destination 
Every second slipping in and out of focus 
Old habits creeping back again
Swore it was the last time — but here I am again

Every promise fading into smoke
Every “I’m done” just another joke
I swear to God I mean it when I say
Tonight’s the night I finally gonna break it

(Chorus)
I’m not trying to lie
I’m just trying to make it
Been going through my mind
Can’t seem to fucking change it

Every step that I take
Feels like I’m barely breathing
How do I escape
When I’m the one that’s faded

(Verse 2)
Mirror staring back — I fucking hate it 
Bloodshot eyes I can’t erase it
Every scar a choice I made
Every high another grave

Everybody saying “just be strong”
Like it’s easy to turn it off
But the weight in my chest won’t let me breathe
And the silence is deafening me

(Chorus)
I’m not trying to lie
I’m just trying to make it
Been going through my mind
Can’t seem to fucking change it

Every step that I take
Feels like I’m barely breathing
How do I escape
When I’m the one that’s faded

(Bridge (melodic build)
Running in circles 
Trying to bury the mess 

Every night I swear I’ll change
Every morning feels the same

I’m tired of fighting myself
Tired of living in this hell

If I don’t break these chains 

There’s nothing left of me

The walls are closing in…


(Breakdown (half-time, heavy)
I CAN’T FUCKING CHANGE IT

I CAN’T FUCKING CHANGE IT

I CAN’T FUCKING CHANGE IT

(Final Chorus)
I’m not trying to lie
I’m just trying to make it
Been going through my mind
Can’t seem to fucking change it

Every step that I take
Feels like I’m barely breathing
How do I escape
When I’m the one that’s faded
