Fading Out

Intro

(Fading out)

(Fading out of me)

Verse 1

Cold tile on my back again

Counting cracks in the ceiling

The needle don't care about names

It just takes what you're feeling

Empty pockets and a hollow chest

Praying for the light to quit

Somewhere underneath the quiet

I can hear my heart admit

Pre-Chorus

And I'm crawling toward the surface

Both hands shaking on the floor

Every breath is a surrender

I don't wanna fight no more

Chorus

I am breaking the wire

Tearing down the temple I built

Burning every altar of desire

Wading through the guilt

I am clawing out of this grave

I am crawling back to the light

No more chains to hold me down at night

I am breaking the wire tonight

Verse 2

Three AM and the walls are humming

Static crawling on my skin

Every ghost I used to swallow

Now I'm learning to let them in

The shaking in my fingertips

Is a language I can read

Every stumble is a sentence

And I'm learning how to breathe

Pre-Chorus

And I'm crawling toward the surface

One more inch and I'm almost there

Every second is a battle

Every whisper is a prayer

Chorus

I am breaking the wire

Tearing down the temple I built

Burning every altar of desire

Wading through the guilt

I am clawing out of this grave

I am crawling back to the light

No more chains to hold me down at night

I am breaking the wire tonight

Bridge

The hunger is still calling

From somewhere down below

But I built a different fortress

Somewhere the rooks can't go

Day by day I hollow out

New runways for the calm

The old me is a footnote

The new me is the song

Chorus

I am breaking the wire

Tearing down the temple I built

Burning every altar of desire

Wading through the guilt

I am clawing out of this grave

I am crawling back to the light

No more chains to hold me down at night

I am breaking the wire tonight
