The Logical End

Don't fade away

A listless gaze through tear stained eyes
(A father shares his warm goodbye)
Live for the truth, don't suffer lies
Keep your head up (now don't you cry)
I watch my hero fade away
(Stay logical)
I struggle for the words to say

Can't lose control
Can't reach the bottom now and lose my soul
Won't pretend that this
This is anything
Anything more than the logical end
My friend, thanks for the memories
You've been a godsend

Keep your head up, back straight
Don't linger on the words to say
Be strong, take the pain
And save it for another day

The truth may hurt
The lies will last
The truth may hurt
But the lies last forever

Fade away (when I fade away)
When I fade away, will all my memories dissolve
And leave a shadow of dismay?
Or will I be a light? (Will I be a light?)
That brings you a warm smile
A gentle hand that guides the way

More stone for the castles of man
We'll build another empire here
Where we stand
We never have to see
A logical end as long as we live

Keep your head up, back straight
Don't linger on the words to say
Be strong, take the pain
And save it for another day

(Don't fade away)
Save it for another day
(Don't fade away)
Save it for another day

Don't fade away
Don't fade away
(Don't fade away)
