[Verse 1] I lit a match inside my chest, Just to prove there’s fire left. But every flame just turned to smoke, And every truth I loved, I broke. You said the dark was where I’d heal, But shadows lie — they never feel. Now silence hums beneath my skin, A requiem for what has been. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know if I’m coming back, Every step feels painted black. ⸻ [Chorus] So I fade to black — no sound, no light, Another dream slips out of sight. Don’t call my name, don’t drag me through, I’d rather die than lie to you. The world still turns, I can’t turn back, Just let me fade to black. ⸻ [Verse 2] I wore my guilt like borrowed clothes, Frayed at the seams, too close to ghost. The pills don’t fix, they just erase, Each memory, each broken face. And maybe peace was just a trick, A fleeting high that never sticks. I carved my faith on trembling hands, But God forgot His promises and plans. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know if I’m coming back, The stars all burn the same shade black. ⸻ [Chorus] So I fade to black — no sound, no light, Another dream slips out of sight. Don’t call my name, don’t drag me through, I’d rather die than lie to you. The world still turns, I can’t turn back, Just let me fade to black. ⸻ [Bridge] If love was meant to save the lost, Why does it always count the cost? I bled for hope, it bled for me, Now all that’s left is empathy. The mirror cracks, the past looks on, The pain remains, but I am gone. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Emotional Climax] So I fade to black — don’t bring me home, I’m safer here, I’m not alone. The noise, the light, they fade, they die, Just leave me here beneath the sky. The world still turns, I can’t turn back, This is peace — I fade to black. ⸻ [Outro – Whispered / Distant Vocals] Fade to black… (black… black…) No sound, no light… (light… light…) I’m still here… (here… here…) Just out of sight.
