This defeat is a victory We're burning out, we're fading away We're waiting for the world to save itself 'Cause nothing is built to last We're writing our epitaph So reset and start again 'Cause we all know how this ends Before long we'll be dead and

Just try not to worry And be on your way And stop crying your heart out 'Cause all of the stars Are fading away You'll see them some day Take what you need Stop crying your heart out

My apocalypse is near Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long I can feel the end coming here Sudden implosion of silenced emotions Delusions of hope fading away Dying like leaves on frozen soil I can feel the end, coming here Neglecting existence

Fallen from grace cause I been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion Close, low bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you I failed? Tell you I failed Now I'm lost Flew beyond the sun before

And all of the nights and all of the days Yeah we’re watching them fading away And oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice When I’m gambling all of the time And oh oh oh oh oh I’m leaving now Sweet escape I just need you now Cold light wakes me in

Far away, far away California rain is falling I can hear the summer calling A song that's fading Put me on a plane tomorrow I'll try to run from all my sorrow From endless waiting It's so cold here without my sun I'm so sad here, far away from everyone

And all of the nights and all of the days Yeah we’re watching them fading away And oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice When I’m gambling all of the time And oh oh oh oh oh I’m leaving now Sweet escape I just need you now Cold light wakes me in

In my convictions I've found my own grave But amongst the dead we all fade away Fading back into an anodyne sea For once I have stood no one will know But alone I was born and alone we must go Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone None of this

With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die For your love, your love, I'm a better, better man Darling, all of my wrongs, they lead me right to me Fading away, fading away Wake up to someone with nothing to

But it's fading away from my mind There's another "me" waiting behind Up until recently I have been alone Leading a tranquil life but never at home Something had changed and I turned to the wind That blew through me and told me, "how long? How long?"
