Fade Out

It's only you to say
Your disconnected self is safe and tucked away.
It's safe, too safe.

It was a mistake to think the truth
Wasn't ever gonna change a thing,
But it's harder now to bring it upon yourself
To think it's better this way.

Was it only all the time I spent
Wishing for something more,
That had sent me down the path to wondering,
If anything, I was better off before?

Perspective aligned, show me the time and place.
All else aside, show me what you can take.

But you're not just fading out
Of every other win that you can't count.
You're here to see your mistakes,
And be better one day.

(Fade out, you can't count
The mistakes that you've made.)

But it's the principle at stake,
Having given up the time and balance of a working state
The chance to grow up this way.
Maybe it'll change, but I can only wait
Until I realize it's all the same.

Was it only all the time I spent
Wishing for something more,
That had sent me down the path to wondering,
If anything, I was better off before?

But you're not just fading out
Of every other win that you can't count.
You're here to see your mistakes,
And be better one day.

(Fade out, you can't count
The mistakes that you've made.)

You're the one to say
You're disconnected from the better self you made,
But it's safe and tucked away,
It's safe and tucked away.

Let's face it: you won't be the same.
Is that what keeps you hanging on?
Or is it what's been driving you insane?
You might be better off someday
Let's face it: you won't be the same.

Let's face it: you won't be the same.

But you're not just fading out
Of every other win that you can't count.
You're here to see your mistakes,
And be better one day.

(Fade out, you can't count
The mistakes that you've made.)

You're the one to say
You're disconnected from the better self you made,
But it's safe and tucked away,
It's safe and tucked away.
