fade in,
fade out

by brendan philip mccusker

chorus

save all your sage advice

cause you need more than you realize

fade in, fade out

fade the night into the day

freefallin’ oversight

as you lead your way by candlelight

fade in, fade out

fade the colors all away

verse 1

lightning out of the bottle again

cuz the world brushed you aside

call it off, shut down the ride

drownin in doubt but you still pretend

you believe the way you lie

no more love behind your eyes

prechorus

no bridges left to burn wasted your only turn

safe from the blame

without a reason for concern

verse 2

lost inside all the clouds up ahead

raining on your point of view

redefine that part of you

turning tide on the life that you led

nothing gold can ever stay

growing wiser by the day
