Don'T Let Me Fade Away

A veil that won't relent
A weight I can't forget
(I) Feel tethered to the past
(I) am breaking down at last

This silence screams louder than the pain
A storm that echoes deep within my brain
I bleed, I ache, but peace I cannot find
Chained to memories, shadows claw my mind

I'm falling deeper and deeper
In the abyss, can't go on like this
The morning breaks but the darkness stays
Don't let me fade away

I'm lost within the haze
My thoughts spin endlessly
(Time) Unfolding in my hands
(I) Drown in shifting sands

Beneath the weight I strain
Bound by this silent chain
In the dark, can I find?
A spark that's left behind

I'm falling deeper and deeper
In the abyss, can't go on like this
The morning breaks but the darkness stays
Don't let me fade away

Through the dark, I'll strive
To keep my hope alive
The morning breaks but the darkness stays
Don't let me fade away

Don't let me fade away

How I envy those untouched by the storm
Who move through life without feeling so worn
Caught between what was and what might have been
I'm tethered to a truth that burns within

This void inside, it calls my name
But I defy
I defy

Break the chains that bind me so tight
On this bridge where hope and fear unite
Hope and fear unite
On this bridge where hope and fear unite

I'm falling deeper and deeper
In the abyss, can't go on like this
The morning breaks but the darkness stays
Don't let me fade away

Through the dark, I'll strive
To keep my hope alive
The morning breaks but the darkness stays
Don't let me fade away

Don't let me fade away
