Fading World

There’s no more bridges to be burned No more lessons to be learned No more lies to be told No more dreams to be sold No more waiting, no more stalling No more feeling like your falling No more life and no more death No more ‘cause nothing’s left So paint a vision, paint a line Between my reason and your rhyme ‘Cause everywhere I turn People crash and people burn Yeah, nothing lasts for long It just keeps fading till it’s gone All the world's a lie Doesn't really matter why Forget the pleasure and the pain There’s no one left to blame They stood at the gates of death Where man and his maker met Closed their eyes, took one step in Now they can never step back again So paint a vision, paint a line Between my reason and your rhyme ‘Cause everywhere I turn People crash and people burn Yeah, nothing lasts for long It just keeps fading till it’s gone I walk by night and dream by day But just can’t seem to find my way I’ll learn to live and learn to pray For all the friends I have betrayed So many things I want say So many fears I’ve kept at bay I was concerned, but it’s okay They can come but they can’t stay So paint a vision, paint a line Between my reason and your rhyme ‘Cause everywhere I turn People crash and people burn Yeah, nothing lasts for long It just keeps fading till it’s gone Written October 17th, 2001 © on Oct 17 2001 08:48 AM PST   20 • 0 • 10
