Fading Away

Relationships today, what can I say? They're like a joke or just something all the players can play Like let's get drunk and find somebody, maybe then we will get laid And we don't care about relationships or people we break I had some high school friends that turned into snakes They just wait for you to turn so they can take, take, take Turn back around and they are reaching out their hand for a shake It's kinda crazy looking back on all the people who fake And listen you won't find no love at the bar Just a bunch of broken people out to cover their scars Who drink and drink and drink and drink just to forget who they are Find some temporary love that only tears them apart See, today everything is about sex It's the reason you're at the bar always spending your cheques Hoping there's someone there so you can take your mind off your ex And go claim to someone new that you are not like the rest But really you just wanna cover a scar And tomorrow you'll wake up and just forget who they are And now the person you used is in the place that where you were So they go drink and drink and drink and find themselves at a bar It's such a cruel cycle, leaving us all on the brink But we're too caught up in ourselves that's why we never can think Made a puzzle out of life that I can never solve I guess that's why I'm at the bar with another drink I'm so sick of faking things Masking life with all these drinks And I can't find no other way So I'll sit here and fade away Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away Drinking all this pain away I'll sit here and fade away 'Cause I can't find no other way And I don't get this Instagram shit Like is yourself worth based upon the likes that you get I guess that's why you post the pictures when you are looking your best So maybe dudes can fantasize over your ass or your chest It's like we're needing approval or someone's constant attention And honestly all these things are causing us tension We think we're moving forward but haven't made no progression And after all this time you would think we are learning our lesson I fucking hate it, stupid phone world People walking around inside of they own world Never focused on the things that actually matter in life They are too busy checking pages 'bout their old girl It's kinda funny right? 'cause i'm guilty too I'm just simply one y'all tryna make it through But on my way I'm tryna help a few of you 'Cause damn, it helps seeing things from someone else's view We are slowly losing connection While tryna find some reception It's sad that photoshopped girls are representing perfection We're not lost, I just think we're needing direction To focus on what matters, not our likes or our mentions And I'm not perfect, but I swear I make this music for you I ain't rapping 'bout my money, I just give you the truth 'Cause life's hard and everybody's dealing with issues I just hope my music helps you all escape for a few I'm so sick of faking things Masking life with all these drinks And I can't find no other way So I'll sit here and fade away I'm so sick of faking things Masking life with all these drinks And I can't find no other way So I'll sit here and fade away Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away Drinking all this pain away I'll sit here and fade away 'Cause I can't find no other way Damn, it's such a tragedy ain't it? We're stuck inside this cycle that we fucking created And then we take to Twitter and tweet how much we hate it And then go out the next weekend and keep the cycle remaining See, I'm the sound of the truth Tearing up all of these booths I'm tryna heal a bunch of people feeling empty and used I understand your position, so turn this up and just listen And maybe we can make world where hurt and pain is all fiction Ollie
