Lyrics
[Verse]
Tears on the pavement, rain don't erase it,
Watched him sink slow, dreams turned to basements.
Needles on the dresser, ghosts in the mirror,
Every phone call—man, death got nearer.
His laugh, faint echoes, drowning in the static,
Once a lion's roar, now whispers erratic.
[Prechorus]
Fentanyl fingers, gripping his soul tight,
Fighting the shadow, but losing the fight.
[Chorus]
Brother, why’d you fade to gray?
The warmth in your eyes, it slipped away.
You were here, now you're a name I say,
Brother, why’d you fade to gray?
[Verse 2]
Used to throw spirals, now he's throwing veins,
Clouds in his mind, his world’s full of chains.
Mom's prayers breaking, shattered on the floor,
Knocking on heaven, but they won’t open doors.
Sunday dinners, now empty chairs,
Life ain't a movie, no savior stares.
[Bridge]
Hope was a liar, it whispered sweet lies,
But I held on, while he kissed his goodbyes.
Memory's a thief, stealing moments we shared,
A hollow frame now, the world never cared.
[Chorus]
Brother, why’d you fade to gray?
The warmth in your eyes, it slipped away.
You were here, now you're a name I say,
Brother, why’d you fade to gray?
