STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 71 - Fade by @builtinfire

Hi Steemit,

Here is my entry for the open mic week 71 an original song called 'Fade'.

My friend @begtodiffer inspired me to enter this contest.This song is about watching someone go through a rough time and trying to work out what the best way of helping them is. It's not always easy. Some people respond well to empathy while others, to a forceful approach. There is no real answer as people and situations have varying dynamics but one thing is for sure, stick with them. Don't leave their side...

Fade

I'm gonna break this. Gonna bring it all back down to me.
Every time we fake it leaves a line of thoughts we can't relieve.

Hey.....she leads me down. Like fools, we linger on.
Oh...I will not stand and watch you fade away.

I'm gonna bend this. Gonna make exactly what I need.
More and more accept this. Accept their reason, blind and weak they plead.

Hey...she leads me down. Like fools, we linger on.
Oh...I will not stand and watch you fade away.

Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all

Now some have said this lasts forever and the chances are they're right.
So tear me apart so I can see you
I'll stare at you with all but reason and these feelings that I've learned.
Beyond the reach of self-doubt

Oh.....she leads me down. Like fools, we linger on.
Oh...I will not stand and watch you fade away.

Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
Yeah, yeah...into nothing at all
