Fading

(Verse 1)

I’m walking down a broken street,

The night is cold beneath my feet.

Every step feels heavier than the last—

Like the world knows something I can’t ask.

And the silence screams inside my bones,

I’ve never felt this much alone.

My body trembles like it’s giving in,

Like it’s tired of holding all I’ve been.

(Pre-Chorus)

And people keep saying, “You’ll be fine,”

But they don’t see the cracks beneath my spine.

They don’t hear my heartbeat fight the dark—

They don’t feel my soul come apart.

(Chorus)

’Cause I’m falling, slowly falling,

Down a road that has no end.

Reaching out for something certain,

But I’m grasping at the wind.

And my body’s losing time now,

Every breath is wearing thin—

So I whisper to the humming breeze,

“If I fade, remember who I’ve been.”

(Verse 2)

Doctors speak in careful tones,

Their eyes say more than what I’m told.

I hold their words like fragile glass—

One wrong move and I collapse.

Some nights I swear I disappear,

A fading shadow drowning here.

Still I walk this street in quiet grace,

Trying to find a home in empty space.

(Pre-Chorus 2)

They offer hope like borrowed light,

But it flickers out most every night.

And I’m left staring at the truth—

That death and I are moving two by two.

(Chorus)

And I’m falling, slowly falling,

Down a road that has no end.

Reaching out for something certain,

But I’m grasping at the wind.

Yeah, my body’s losing time now,

Every breath is wearing thin—

So I whisper to the humming breeze,

“If I fade, remember who I’ve been.”

(Bridge)(soaring, emotional)

But oh… there are days that hold me

Like the sun against my face.

And oh… I cling to them so gently

’Cause they’re all I have to chase.

If this life is slipping from me,

Like a song that’s almost still—

I’ll sing until it leaves me—

Sing until it bends my will.

(Final Chorus)(bigger, broken, emotional)

And I’m falling, God, I’m falling,

But I swear I’m trying still.

Holding onto every moment,

Every light that breaks the chill.

’Cause my body’s losing time now,

And the end is closing in—

So I whisper to the humming breeze,

“When I’m gone… remember who I’ve been.”

“When I’m gone… remember I was here.”

Ohhhh—ohhhhhh—uhhhh…

I’m giving in

Ooooh—uhhhh—ohhhh…

My time has run out

Ohhhhh—ohhhhh—uhhhh…

(fading, breaking)
