In the black and white, wounds all bound Sitting at the table, biting nails all short The consequence of adultery As he rips you from your skin
We′re all paying for this and in your prayers You believe
YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (just for the first time) YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (just like the last time) YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (a seam away from breaking) YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE (always forever)
Tasting you for the first time, just to breathe you in Breaking you for the first time, bathed in sin
You never take Take the time to really look Look at the one The one I really am
You try to fit To fit me in a perfect box You let me slip between the cracks
[CHORUS:] Now I′ve faded Into someone else Made me someone I don′t wanna be Yeah I′m faded My true colour′s gone Like a picture nobody sees
I′ll bet you don′t Don′t even know my favourite song You tell me how How I should wear my hair
You wanna change Everything I ever was Try to erase me Till I′m not there
[CHORUS:] Now I′ve faded Into someone else Made me someone I don′t wanna be Yeah I′m faded My true colour′s gone Like a picture nobody sees
Now I′ve faded Like I never was Till I don′t even know myself Yeah I′m faded Into what you want But I′m not takin′ it too well
I don′t wanna be your little picture perfect pretty girl Who′s got nothing to say I′m not gonna wait around Let you run my whole life down So you can watch me fade away
(Faded, Faded) You try to fit Fit me in your perfect box
(Faded, Faded) You try to fit Fit me in your perfect box
You try to fit Fit me in a perfect box You let me slip between the cracks
[CHORUS:] Now I′ve faded Into someone else Made me someone I don′t wanna be Yeah I′m faded My true colour′s gone Like a picture nobody sees
Yeah I′ve faded Like I never was Till I don′t even know myself Now I′m faded Into what you want But I′m not takin′ it too well
Animation breathes a cloudless mind Fascination leaves the doubting blind Until the circle breaks and wisdom lies ahead the faithful live Awake the rest remain misled
Some will transcend spinning years One as if time disappears
Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you Trinity jaded I break down walls to find you
Callow and vain fixed like a fossil, shrouding pain Passionless stage Distant like brothers Wearing apathetic displays Sharing flesh like envy in cages Condescending Not intending to end
Some will transcend spinning years One as if time disappears
Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you Trinity jaded I break down walls to find you
Beginnings get complicated the farther we progress Opinions are calculated Immune to openness
Beyond the circle′s edge We′re driven by her blessings Forever hesitating Caught beneath the wheel
Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you Cynically jaded The child will crawl to find you.
