Fading Hours

Counting cracks in the ceiling
Talking to ghosts that ain't healing
Waves of silence drown my chest
Another day, another test
Clouds don't move, they just hang
Like the words you never sang
All this waiting turns to rust
Who do you trust, when there's no trust?

And time keeps bleeding through
Like rain on worn-out shoes
Every smile feels kinda fake
Like holding breath before you break

Fading hours, slipping through my hands
Broken flowers on forgotten lands
Tell me why I stay, tell me why I care
If every light just disappears

Empty chairs, old photographs
Silent wars behind thin laughs
I trace my name in cigarette ash
Another memory, another crash
I carry weight that no one sees
A quiet war beneath my sleeves
This room's too loud, this life's too thin
I breathe it out, then breathe back in

If you hear me
Know I tried
If you feel me
I'm still alive
Fading, but alive

Fading hours, slipping through my hands
Broken flowers on forgotten lands
Tell me why I stay, tell me why I care
If every light just disappears
(Let it fade)
Let me fade
