Fade Away

into the darkness, we fade away
clinging to life
for once, wishing to stay.

by the end of our lives,
we are unafraid,
hard, hollow shells,
only caring for our blades.

yet as we start to go,
we start to become whole.
our pain is taken away,
and we finally want to stay

only the broken, unhappy fade,
yet no one in the world is left to stay.

we're finally happy,
we finally feel.
it's hard to believe,
but now these smiles are real.

our tears fall like rain,
they just won't slow,
yet why we're crying,
we do not know.

now, crying and smiling,
we finally fade,
all of us finally wishing to stay.
