Don't Let Me Fade Away
Wage War Lyrics

We all hide behind a mask
We all try to conceal our true feelings and emotions.

A product of our own self-destructive past
Our present condition is a result of our previous harmful experiences.

We all ache for something deeper than the surface
We all long for something more profound than what appears on the outside.

Searching for anything to break the name "Worthless"
We are hoping to find something that could make us feel valuable and significant.

If only we could see the damage we cause ourselves
We often don't realize the extent to which we harm ourselves.

It often seems our best intentions pave the road to hell
Our good intentions can sometimes lead us to misfortune.

We do it to ourselves
We are responsible for our own actions that could harm us.

It's got me overwhelmed
The situation has become too difficult for me to handle.

I've never fallen this far
I've never experienced such a depth of despair.

It's never been this dark
Things have never been this bleak.

Take me back to better days
I wish to return to a time when things were simpler and more positive.

Before I was a slave to the choices that I have made
Before my own decisions started controlling my life.

There's gotta be a better way, this can't stay
There must be a way to improve the current state of affairs, it cannot continue.

Don't let me fade away, don't let me fade away
Please do not let me succumb to my negative emotions.

I just can't make another day
The present condition is causing me too much distress to continue.

I've been torn down to nothing
I feel like I have lost everything and have nothing else to lose.

We all want to be set free
We all desire to be liberated from the things holding us down.

Enslaved to emotions or someone, we're ripping at the seams
We are controlled by our emotions or someone else, and it's tearing us apart.

Can't seem to stop the bleeding, too blind to see
We cannot seem to prevent our emotional turmoil, and we may not even realize it's happening.

The cycle repeats
The cycle of negative thoughts and emotions continues without end.

Feels like I'm made to fail
I feel destined to fail and unable to overcome the obstacles in my life.

You pick the coffin and I'll drive the nail
I am willing to contribute to my own self-destruction.

If you can hear this, if you can feel this (We all hide behind a mask)
If anyone relates to what I'm saying and feeling (which we all do to some extent), please do not let me succumb to my negative emotions.

Give me a sign
I need some indication that things will get better.

Tell me everything will be alright
Encourage me and assure me that there is hope.

These idle hands adept for a crime
My lack of direction and purposeful activity could lead me into destructive behavior.
