Fade Away
Cipes And The People Lyrics

What is protecting
What is safeguarding or shielding

The phasing
The timing or rhythm

Of your sanctuary?
Of the place where you feel safe or at peace?

Are you hurting inside?
Are you in emotional pain or distress?

All those things you hold so preciously
All the things that you cherish and value deeply

Like a demon waiting for its prey
Like an evil force ready to consume or destroy

To steal the essence of your life
To take away the very core or vital part of your being

You bleed inside
You are in emotional turmoil or agony

Paralyzing you
Making you unable to act or move

You're frozen in this cat's eye view
You are overwhelmed and can only see a narrow perspective

Stealing babies breath
Taking away the innocent or pure parts of your life

And you reach out
You desperately try to find a way to cope or escape

You're so close to death
Your emotional pain is so intense that it feels like you're dying

Contemplating terror
Thinking about the frightening and awful

In that demon's lair
In the place of darkness and evil

Waiting for some sign
Hoping for any indication or signal

From father time
From the passage of time or a higher power

Fade away
To disappear or become gradually less noticeable

Break down and cry
To crumble emotionally and weep uncontrollably

And you just want to die
And you feel so overwhelmed that death may seem like the only way out
