Evanescence

[Verse 1]
Man I’ve been waiting, I’ve been patient
Made a decent effort even though you were the ones I hated
But your hearts were vacant, your egos were bloated
Only for the moment was exactly what I anticipated
I’m slowly fading, look at all the time I’ve wasted
And now I’m so faded from being extremely wasted
What does it take for my presence to remain
Does it really take fame to have my name maintained?
Soon enough I’ll only be a distant memory
A friend of me? Who was he? You won’t even remember me
Till you find out what went wrong, till you find out what you lost
Till you find out that I’m gone, it’ll already be so long

[Hook]
Not even connected so I don’t feel no affection
Hardly ever mentioned I’m not given any attention
Entered into depression and nobody ever noticed
Guess I’m an illusion a figment of your imagination
If only you used your senses, if only you learned your lessons
If only you got the message wouldn’t that be a blessing
Claims of misconceptions that I gave the wrong impression
Hearing all these excuses as I descend into evanescence

[Verse 2]
The truth lies in my songs I’m real within my lyrics
My cries will you hear it? My pain will you cure it?
Will you take me as I am for the man that I am?
I hope you can understand, I want in on the fam
Instead I was ignored I wasn’t even acknowledged
Worse than being rejected I feel worse than being garbage
It’s funny how all of you can treat a stranger so dear
When you don’t even show love to someone you’ve known for years
I feel so invisible I vanish like the mist
But I wasn’t missed cause in your mind I ceased to exist
My one and only wish was for people to approve of me
But nothing is free it all comes with a hefty admission fee

[Hook]
