LYRICS
Running around trying to figure out now
Where you put your smile down
You can’t let them see you like this
Thinking what mask you’re gonna front
You grab the nearest one, you take your place
Amongst these faceless others
Underneath the surface
Everything’s so backwards
It’s all a lie
Run away, save yourself, let it go
It’s too late, I’m losing you
You’re fading
Don’t move, sit there in a trance
Do not make a sound
Fool, what were you thinking?
Fallen no one’s gonna call
No hands were up at all
You’re on your own again
Walls are closing in
You can’t feel anything
Becoming one of them
Come back to me
Run away, save yourself, let it go
It’s too late, I’m losing you
You’re fading
Fading, fading, fading
Fading, fading, fading
Run away, save yourself, let it go
It’s too late, I’m losing you
You’re fading
Save yourself, let it go
It’s too late, I’m losing you
You’re fading, fading, fading
