Lonely

I knew a guy who played pretend

Could feel that it was near the end

The time was running out and he could feel the end of the road

Politics and talking trash

Finding something else to bash

Always had an army of followed wannabees up his ass

And when they dropped down to their knees

Understand the reality

It doesn't even matter what anybody ever really thinks

An ego grew the size of states

The efforts made, they seemed too late

The power and the glory fades away when no one cares

All alone you knew you would

Paying someone like you could

To hang out with you and listen to you talk throughout the night

And when they dropped down to their knees

I understand the realities

The fame and fortune ran out just like we all knew it would

When you're out of the light

No one cares if you're in sight

Just tired of the bullshit that you preach

Fade away

Fade away

Before the change was not that bad

A normal guy who always had

A darker side you kept it to yourself

Uncomfortable so you spoke out

Wore on your sleeve what your about

I guess the thought of sharing all your dirt makes you feel good

The problem is that no one cares

Keep on talking into the air

Always trying to justify why you should be the king

When you're out of the light

And no one cares if you're in sight

Just tired of the bullshit that you preach

I can never make it mine

And kept count of losing fight

It's sad to see your empire falling down

Fade away

Fade away
