Fade Away

I know of a garden
I think you know of it too
A garden of all that is gone
And all that is through
When the world is shaking
I prefer to stay inside
But a life in isolation
Leaves you nowhere to hide
When the floodgates come crashing down

And so when I'm filled with these old midnight thrills
I follow the dark trail crossing the hills
Away from the past and all that is gone
No end in sight, the steam engine rolls on
The pendulum swings at the flick of a wrist
The chessboard reverses once I've gotten the gist
Waiting like I always do won't help me today
Now It's time for you to fade away

The lights outside the window
Help in keeping me sane
And the headphones pushed deep into my skull
Help drown out my brain
My garden has rot
It is now time to go
Go back to the real world
A place that I no longer know
And your fragment of me is left behind

And so when I'm filled with these old midnight thrills
I follow the dark trail crossing the hills
Away from the past and all that is gone
No end in sight, the steam engine rolls on
Nowhere to rest
No time to cry
Where the smoldering ashes have been left out to die
Waiting like I always do won't save me today
My time has come

To fade away
Far away
Fade away
Fade away
