Fade Away
Fade
The truth has faded into black and white
Colors no longer fill up the night
No one to trust, no one who cares
It’s time to take flight into the air
Where no one can judge you
Where no one can see you
You’ll just disappear
Like a balloon that is lost
You’ll be tossed
Within the folds of the wind
Never to be seen again
A new life begins
A game you can win
If you’re brave enough to take the leap
And search down, down, deep
Maybe you’ll find yourself
Among those who’ve never felt
The need- to run away
To get away
From reality
From life
To find yourself
To leave a world
Whose eyes
Never turn to watch the sky
The sunrise
You’ll find happiness someday
With those who dare to say
The truth- that life isn’t fair
It’s not all going well
And then
You suddenly fall
From underneath your own feet
And now you can’t sleep
Cause someone tripped you up
Something made you mess up
Your mind is spinning
You’re hoping, wishing
That things will change
You didn’t trip
You didn’t fall
It was all a nightmare
But it wasn’t.
Life isnt fair
All we’re living is a nightmare
Live the good moments
Don’t be surprised when things start to hurt
One day we’ll all wake up
It won’t hurt anymore
No one will make you fall
And for once, you’ll stand tall
Among those
Who small voices
Said it all
With no one to hear them, they spoke
Into the void
They said what everyone longed to hear
And yet somehow feared
But they were fearless, they were brave
They spoke, and they gave
But no one heard
No one came
No one was listening
For who so small
Could say so much
Who so small
Could ever be right
Who so small
Could withstand a fight
Who so small
Could make a change
Stand tall
Only some people can fit
Through doors
Only the small
Can cross the floors
Only the small
Can go past
Only the small
Will enter,
At last.
