i'm
fading down, fading out
how can i tell if i'm around?

out of sight, in my mind
but your eyes are still the same

blue

half here half of the time
and i wish i knew why
i had to keep alive

(in my mind's eye)

drifting,

draining,

i just wanna look and see

(a life not jaded)

holding onto what could

fading down, fading out
how can i tell if i'm around?

out of sight, in my mind
but your eyes are still the same

blue

like you do?

i'm waiting for this to play out
at least till i can feel the ground

clouded eyes can't describe
all the things my thoughts have left behind

as time is passing me by

(time is passing me by)

in a daze i can't defy

(in a daze i can't defy)

shake the pain, tried to try

(too slight of skin)

take this fight,
i don't have drive
to make my body look alive

too hollow, too displaced
could you tell by looking at my face?

this fate

i'm aching now, fizzling out
just when i started to feel doubt

first i ran, then i stalled
maybe i'm just that numb after all

down in the trenches,
sleep comes with no expenses
when you've lost all your senses,
it's hard to be amended

how do you do it?
i'm not built to resist it
if i can't break this stiffness
i'll never know

i'm
fading down, fading out
how can i tell if i'm around?

out of sight, in my mind
but your eyes are still the same

blue

i could never tell with you

still waiting for me to give out
but maybe i don't have to now

despite all my doubt
i don't need a new philosophy
