VERSE
You grew wings, on your heart
But you let it out your ribcage
and it flew into the dark
Like a ghost, just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most

CHORUS:
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday,
starting to notice you're fading away
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow,
fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow

CHORUS:
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday,
starting to notice
Two steps forward and one step back,
Make up in love what you think I lack,
You've got a vampire on your neck,
Everybody knows what happens next
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday,
starting to notice
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
