Fade to Black

Hold down that 9 to 5
This shit is real life (It’s real-life)
So blue and disillusioned
Poor kid can’t even fight, you see (Uh)
He might just fade away (He might just fade away)
He might just fade away

Then time rolls by
And he’s 25, still don’t know shit (Still don’t know shit)
He’s feeling jaded but won’t say it
He just might quit
Or he might just fade away (Might just fade away)
He might just fade away

Came in with eyes wide (With eyes wide)
To blinding city lights (City lights)
Come into yourself, oooh
Or this shit will swallow you

(Just like that)
(He fades to black)
(Just like that)
(He fades to black)

Fade away, he could fade away (Hah)
Left to right, hit the Shamgod sway
Try to keep up, your ankles break
Can't make this up, nah, might heart won't fade
Bear arms, smoke face, life ain't no game
Times is hard, steady rock, I'm stayin'
You won't catch what I'm sayin'
Motherfuckin' burn you like the grease on bacon (Just like that)
It all fades to black, mirrors don't show
Nothin' back to a zombie bat (He fades to black)
I'm lost, without the force, unless it's in me
Tendency hypochondriac (Just like that)
Rushin', feeling pressed, time ain't on my side
This ain't what it gotta be (He fades to black)
Even in the darkest times, the blackest night
I'll always be a part of me

(I'll always be a part of me)
(I'll always be a part of me)
