I Won't Fade Away

We’re all searching for purpose

For reason to be alive

For anything we can find that

Makes all the hard times worth the sacrifice

But we’re still stuck in the same place

Filled with memories and regret

Suffocating on our hopes and all of the dreams

That we wish we could forget

I will not fade away

Will not go gentle into the night

Rise up and face the day

Rage against the dying light

I will not fade away

We all long for the future

But we can’t escape the past

As our lives pass us by like they’re constantly draining

Sand in an hourglass.

I spent my years paying off my debts

Still held back by the things that I wish I could forget

I will not fade away

Will not go gentle into the night

Rise up and face the day

Rage against the dying light

We try to burn the past away

In the fire and the flames

Through it all our scars remain but I won’t fade

I will not fade away

I see so many people wasting their lives

But at the end of my days I won’t say that I’ve wasted mine

I will not fade away

Will not go gentle into the night

Rise up and face the day

Rage against the dying light

We try to burn the past away

In the fire and the flames

Through it all our scars remain but I won’t fade

I will not fade away
