Frozen in a frame of time My state of mind is going blind From staring out to see the light Beyond my recognition This is the way it's always been A bastard child that's almost kin I never had the faith that this Was my product to start off with Now you've taken the role as a leech As we speak, you're feeding off of me Though it could also be A sense of reliance and defiance A cocktail of many things that in turn poison me Wait 'til you hear what I've done I've caused a storm to destroy everything that I have become Well, I was looking forward to my life Looking forward to survive Looking forward to shake off this dead skin that's been plaguing me For so long I'm in love with adversity Yeah, I'm in love with defeat Just tie the knot, but don't sign the pre-nup You've been taking this way overboard These days we know They're so far away, so far away These nights remain But I'll just fade away, I'll fade away Same old story that I've heard The only one that I've preferred is written somewhere that decides The future steps I'm taking This could my prerogative For wasting time in all these things I'm standing still, I'm fruitless as I'm following desire Now you've taken the role as leech Wait 'til you hear what I've done I've caused a storm to destroy everything that I have become Well, I was looking forward to my life Looking forward to survive Looking forward to shake off this dead skin that's been plaguing me For so long I'm in love with adversity Yeah, I'm in love with defeat Just leave me here, to sit and think of all of the things that I've done wrong These days we know They're so far away, so far away These nights remain But I'll just fade away, I'll fade away
