Fade

Crispy days gone by and passed
Always thought they'd always last
Then one day it all came again
And then I sat in the hated rain
'Cause once I saw I did believe
Listen, learn and then we leave
A quest for each answer's question
Ponder thinking, thought, and mention
Mental whole destroys my mind
Mental whole to help me find
What is wrong and who is right?
Friend and foe and who to fight?

(Chorus)
When we forget all we're taught
And we pawn what we haven't bought
You'll see what you saw true
And you'll know all you knew
We'll be together in this life we made
When we fade

Crispy days gone by and passed
Maybe were we just too fast?
Then one day it all came back
And imperfections and what we lack
'Cause if you heard you would believe
We are a rabbit in a magician's sleeve
A quest to find what is going to be
Left brain's right, right brain's plea
Mental empty successing my soul
Mental empty usurping my whole
Listen and heed or sleep and wait
Friend and foe and who to hate?
