Fading & Falling
The lights are fading
My sight goes dim
Everything around me
Seems so far out of sight
The closer I am to you
Everything is clear
Bright as the sun
Covered in a rainbow of colors
New and exciting
A life worth living
When you are away
Everything goes cold
Dark, isolated, uninviting
I feel so alone
In your embrace I'd much rather be
The lights are fading
My sight goes dim
Everything around me
Seems so out of sight
Yes, I've fallen
Yes, it's true
But true is it also
That I am fading
Fallen
Yet
Fading
Fading away
