The Fade Away

(album: The Suicide Machines - 2000)

I find it funny that we're at each others throats
We're living in the shadows of this town's old ghosts
My side of town was way different from yours
We have our own ideas
Still we fight the same wars

And do your words fall on deaf ears?
Will our words disappear over the years?
Everything fades away, yeah
As everything fades away

Could we have gotten past simple smiles and small talk?
Music built our pedestals, and friends they built our walls
It's us who let this happen, and so I move on
I gave in and you gave up
Who's to say who's wrong

And do your words fall on deaf ears?
Will our words disappear over the years?
Everything fades away, yeah
As everything fades away

My back is against the wall
Have we learned nothing at all?
Sob story, same story, sob story, same story
You made it competition
So take your faction
'Cause we don't need one
So fuck your faction
So we end with nothing

And do your words fall on deaf ears?
Will our words disappear over the years?
Everything fades away, yeah
As everything fades away

And so we end with nothing
