Fading Star

Life's just a canvas, not a frame
See, I'm not the hero in your tales
Just a traveler on broken trails
Not here to save, not here to claim
Life's just a canvas, not a frame

See, I'm not the hero in your tales
Just a traveler on broken trails
Riding the highs, surviving the lows
In this play of shadows, anything goes

I'm just a star, fading and bare
Finding my way, learning to care
Burning through the noise, through the pain
Whatever comes, I'll still remain
Not your savior, just a face in the crowd
Life's what you make it, sing it loud

A quiet rest stop, late in the night
A door slightly cracked, but the view's just right
Finding peace where the shadows fall
I embrace the rise and brace for the fall

No shining knight, just a dimming flame
Playing life's game, no fame, no blame
Taking the sweet with the bitter fights
In the contrasts, I find my rights

I'm just a star, fading and bare
Finding my way, learning to care
Burning through the noise, through the pain
Whatever comes, I'll still remain
Not your savior, just a face in the crowd
Life's what you make it, sing it loud

And as I vanish into the night
I see my path in a different light
Every end's a start, every loss a gain
Life's cyclical nature, love's refrain

I'm just a star, fading and bare
Finding my way, learning to care
Burning through the noise, through the pain
Whatever comes, I'll still remain
Not your savior, just a face in the crowd
Life's what you make it, sing it loud

Just a silhouette against the dawn
Not yet gone, just moving on
Life's not just what happens to you
It's what you make, in the true and the untrue
