Fade To Black

Intro
Shadows on the ceiling
Clock hand barely moves
Glass on the table
Every breath is proof

Verse 1
You said
“It’s for the best”
Eyes fixed on the door
Suitcase by the bed
Like we’ve done this before
My name in your mouth
Tastes like a last request
You’re already gone
While you’re getting dressed

Pre-Chorus
Slow fade
From color into grey
You’re here
But you’re miles away
Can you feel
How the air turns flat?
This is how we

Chorus
Fade to black
Heart goes quiet in the half-light
Can’t go back
Every promise just a landmine
Hold me
While the edges disappear
Fade to black
Till there’s nothing
Nothing here (oh)
Fade to
Fade to black

Verse 2
Two cups on the counter
One stays
One goes
Your coat on the chair
Catching all the ghost smoke
Your laugh in the walls
Cracks like painted glass
Every little echo
Cutting through the past

Pre-Chorus
Slow fade
From shouting into hush
Your face
Losing all its rush
Do you see
How the frames turn flat?
This is how we

Chorus
Fade to black
Heart goes quiet in the half-light
Can’t go back
Every promise just a landmine
Hold me
While the edges disappear
Fade to black
Till there’s nothing
Nothing here
Fade to black
Let the color bleed and fall away
Don’t look back
Let the final line just drift and fray
Hold me
While the screen goes dead and blank
Fade to black
Fade to
Fade to black

Bridge
Say it softly
Let it shatter slow (slow)
Pull the curtain
On the final show (oh)
If we’re ending
Let it all turn grey
Let the lights go out
We were bright
Now we

Chorus
Fade to black
Heart goes quiet in the half-light
Can’t go back
Every promise just a landmine
Hold me
While the edges disappear
Fade to black
Till there’s nothing
Nothing here
Fade to black
Let the color bleed and fall away
Don’t look back
Let the final line just drift and fray
Hold me
While the screen goes dead and blank
Fade to black
Fade to
Fade to black
