[Verse 1] I don't wanna know how
How to read my own mess and
I'm burning all the pages
I breathe in all the smoke I feel like
I love the way it tastes and creeps in my mind
I guess I was wrong about my life I'll live now (yeah)

[Chorus] 'Cause I've been fading all my life
I tried to live a lie, counting all the days until I die
'Cause I've been fading all my life
And I don't wanna know why I-I'm on the ground
I'm paralyzed

[Verse 2] Welcome to the dark side
Nothing here's ever leaving
Hideaway all you can
Abandon all ships, they leave me
If you're seeing something I wanna know
All my visions don't make sense anymore (yeah)

[Chorus] 'Cause I've been fading all my life
I tried to live a lie, counting all the days until I die
'Cause I've been fading all my life
And I don't wanna know why I-I'm on the ground
I'm paralyzed

[Outro] 'Cause why do I try?
There's no bandage for your mind
'Cause why do I cry?
There's no honesty in life
'Cause why do I try?
There's no bandage for your mind
'Cause why do I cry?
There's no honesty in life (uuh, yeah)

'Cause I've been fading all my life (uh!)
