Fade Away, part 2

Give it up these trials, these files, this documentation of failures These feelings hit ceilings which trap them all inside These hooks These sinkers These dark and lonely bleachers sit through as the world slips through your fingers and die These sounds these bugs these mind destroying drugs these sights these fights when's enough enough hold tight ignite these fires behind your eyes This touch too much let go and fade away let go and fade away and when they ask you all to stay let go and fade away and when they throw you in the fray let go and fade away and when they say don't go don't stray stay here and we will pray For you to pull through to find another way smile wide feel pride and go and seize the day It slides You try and struggle to hold tight It fights, it cries It screams and then it dies let go Goodbye Now watch it fade away
