Fade Out

(album: Better Off - 2018)

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

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

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

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
