Fading
Fading is an art of extreme complication,
When do rivers build water enough to equip?
A sensation is heard from the other world,
Felt by time and time is always on my side.
The disappearance created trickery of light,
Awarded to the man in white, the very quiet scientist.
Never undo your life due to tragedy,
Never then pursue a course of activity.
Fading will be a nonsense, fully entwined
In the world of sensations and effects.

Explorations: IV
When the lights
In my world move
Farther away and
Flicker weakly,
I look to your
World of light
But where am I
in your world?
Where am I in this
World of fading light?
When laughter in my world
Is heard like fading music
At an unknown distance,
I look to your world
Of bubbling laughter
but where am I
In your world of laughter?
Where am I in this
World of fading laughter?

O'.. There Comes My Fiancee!
All the teen boys playing in the street
Stop their play and suddenly turn into adult!
On that street side in the fading sunlight …! !
Even the swaying elderly men
Tries to steady them throwing the stick!
On that street side in the fading sunlight …! !
The ape which jumps tree to tree
Made its mind to sit on the wall watching!
On that street side in the fading sunlight …! !
Even the drivers of speedy vehicles stop
And look keenly at the sides of speed breaker!
On that street side in the fading sunlight …! !
All the teen age girls are disgusted,
And discouraged at their sight on the platform!
On that street side in the fading sunlight …! !
O'.. I see! There comes my fiancee!
On that street side in the fading sunlight …! !

Fade Away
It's k-mart, the bathroom
I'm staring in the mirror
The green lights are bright
It makes the lines clearer
Heard the angel go
Cigarette smoke's all that's left
I've traded in my wings for a string of pearls
And now the string is all i've left
The light bulbs burn
Some ones in the stall
Big white
Brick wall
Makes me feel small
And i take my shirt off
Looking for a glimpse of flesh
I peel back the concrete
Hope there's still some soil left
Cuz i am fading
I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading
Just like fairy tales
Hero loses faith
I am fading
The air smells like urin
It's getting hard to breathe
I could walk out that door
But no one really ever leaves
I take all my clothing off
Trying not to forget
Stupid things like
The color of rain
And the smell of stone when it's wet
And i am naked in the mirror
With a feather in my hand
The lady comes out of the bathroom
Screaming, "oh, jesus!"
Like i was a man
And i ask her
"hey, what happens to us
When we get old and in the way?"
I guess she answered me cus' they
Took me away
And i am fading
I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading
Just like fairy tales
Hero's loses faith
And i do not know
Why or when
I guess that spring is just a leave me ??
And i am fading
I'm fading

Fading Like A Flower
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel Im fading like a flower
Tell me why
When I scream there's no reply
When I reach out there's nothing to find
When I sleep I break down and cry
Cry, yeah
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel Im fading like a flower
Fading like a rose
Fading like a rose
Beaten by the storm
Talking to myself
Getting washed by the rain
It's such a cold cold town
Oh, its a such cold town
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel Im fading like a flower

Fading Lights
Another time it might have been so different
Oh if only we could do it all again
But now its just another fading memory
Out of focus, though the outline still remains
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
Remember
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach the final page
Still we carry on just pretending
That therell always be one more day to go
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
So remember...
Another chance hello, another goodbye
And so many things well never see again
Days of life that seemed so unimportant
They seem to matter but to count much later on
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
Remember

In Light of the Sinking Sun
An empty chair
A quiet room
In light of the moons full glare.
A sleeping man
A cell of stone
In light of the moons full glare.
A dark hall
A silent porch
In light of the moons full glare.
Flickering light
Buzzing flies
In light of the moons full glare.
The man awakes
Stifles a moan
In light of the fading moon.
Shuffling feet
Dangling keys
In light of the fading moon.
The door opens
The man hauled out
In light of the fading moon.
Straps are tightened
Machine turned on
In light of the fading moon.
A button pushed
A scream of pain
In light of the fading moon.
A blackened body
Smoke-filled room
In light of the fading moon.
Six foot hole
Dug in the woods
In light of the fading moon.
The headstone in
The words are said
In light of the rising sun.
The next man sits
Upon that chair
In light of the rising sun.
Poor old man,
Dealt the hand
In light of the rising sun.
Dealt the hand,
The blow of power
In light of the rising sun.
An evil laugh
A blackened body
In light of the rising sun.
The executioner stands
By a silent chair
In light of the sinking sun.

Have Courage
Have courage, for you face a fight
And it is time for you to go
Before the fading of the light.
Though it may rarely read quite right,
And seems too soon for such a blow,
Have courage, for you face a fight.
Keep this in mind; keep this in sight:
That God is watching; this you know
Before the fading of the light.
And though the future is not bright
He will be with you always, so
Have courage, for you face a fight
So struggle on with all your might,
Not heeding any fearsome foe
Before the fading of the light.
Keep marching, marching to the height
Of heaven above from earth below;
Have courage, for you face a fight
Before the fading of the light.

Shades Of Michaelangelo
A still-life portrait
A view from my window
Touched by innocence
Now fading away
Into a quiet storm
Of the tears of the angels
Falling around me
As Im watching the days
I frame colors of passion
Against a fading sky
With a stroke of love
On the canvas of my soul
Im painting a perfect world
With shades of michaelangelo
With each promise made
In every heart that knows
We can live in a perfect world
In shades of michaelangelo
A seed of hope
Grows in my garden
I feel the earth
Beneath my feet
Running through my mind
Are dreams of a future
Where all of this world
Works in harmony
I frame colors of passion
Against a fading sky
I hear songs of children
Echo in the sky
I hear songs of children
A tomorrow so bright

Band Aid 2---do They Know Its Christmas?
Written: midge ure, bob geldof
1:
Its christmas time
Theres no need to be afraid
At christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At christmas time
2:
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At christmas time its hard
But when youre having fun
Theres a world outside your window
And its a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God its them instead of you
Feed the world
Let them know its christmas time
Feed the world
Do they know its christmas time at all?
3:
And there wont be snow in africa
This christmas time
The greatest gift theyll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know its christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know its christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know its christmas time again
Bridge:
(heres to you) raise a glass for everyone
(heres to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know its christmas time at all?
End:
Feed the world
Let them know its christmas time
End:
(repeat & fade)

So Real
Breathe in
Are you the one about to crash it all?
You take another hit in time youll fall, all the way
Summertime sidelines
Well youre the one about to crash it all
And youre the one who likes to blame us all
Consider this
Alright, youre the one fading baby
Well youre the one fading baby
Fading
My life, well everyones taking stock in me
And everyone listens so faithfully to hear whats right from wrong
Its all theyll ever know
Alright, youre the one fading baby
Well youre the one fading baby
Fading
If I ever want to take my chance again, its life
If I ever want to take my chance again again
So real, oh baby youre so real
Alright, life well everyone serves themselves youll see
As hungry as you are to cash in on me, youll be left in the cold
Fading, if I ever want to take my chance again, its life
If I ever want to take my chance again again
So real, oh baby youre so real
Find your own life, live, its far too hard to be alone
These lines you cross, they wont hinder me at all
I feel alive, graced beside
I owe all I loathe to you
Oh baby youre so real

Life Ends
Life ends in affiliations, too extreme,
Towards the line of hate we accept the extreme.
My philosophical tricks span the generations,
With abductions coming with love.
Many add to sensations decoding the brilliant star
Shining, skinning the Earth, spelling danger.
My accordion carries on playing like music
And actions reflect the recordings.
My accusations are aggression, fully enlightening
To the public, and to the world.

fading lights, I sink into
this other world, where only you
can heal my wounds and make me see
only here I'm free
you are the night with all its charm
glowing darkness keeps me warm
take my life - just one caress
let me be forever yours
close your eyes
fading lights, I sink into
this other world

Fading Away
When Ive got something to say
Well, dont I always let you know
So that you and I can go my way together
And if I get carried away
Well, I could be sailing on a song
And maybe we could carry on forever
But lately this old dog
Has been chasing his tail
Round and round and round
And the circles in my mind
They have been winding slowly down
Everybodys breezing up
But Im seizing up
Im freezing up
And Im fading away
Ive got a hold on a night in june
Ive got room for you and me
Ive got moonlight up in the trees
Ive got sixty-eight degrees
Ive got nothing on my mind
But Ive got loving in my heart
And Ive got something out in the garden
I want to show you
Well, it really doesnt matter after all
If we quit this round about
And no one will really notice
If we can just sit this next one out
You can strike up the band without me
You may have your doubts about me
But Im just fading away
You can hardly even see me
Because Im fading away
Well, its hard to find a label
For this feeling in my bones
That this is all a make-believe
But my cards are on the table
And there aint nothing up my sleeve
And here I thought I was a thinking man
But Im a shrinking man, Im sinking man
Im fading, fading away
Well, its really not so bad to be fading away
Come on along with me and well go fading away
You can hardly even hear me because
Im fading away

Signs
This is not about age
Time served on the earth doesn't mean you grow in the mind
This is not about God
Spiritual insinuations seem to shock our nation
Come with me I'm fading underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now
This is not about race
It's a decision to stop the division in your life
This is not about sex
We all know sex sells and the whole world is buying
Come with me I'm fading underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now
Can't you see the signs?
See the signs now
Can't you see them?
See the signs
You see them
All the signs we see them
Can't you see them?

Lost Sun
The sun fading away
The sun ruining the day
Shadow sliding in
Time for night to begin
Lost the suns light
To the darkness of night
Sun light dreaming
To be the moon light beaming
But soon the world will see
When shadows of the night flee
That light is not far from sight
Removed are images of the night
Turned green to white
Snapped over night
Lost soon after none
Here comes the sun

Mixed Signals
The onslaught of truth,
Is not a perceived activity to pursue.
It is there for those aware of it!
It is there not to be abused to undo.
No need to look from the corners of your eyes,
At me or anyone else believed can be easily deceived.
The onslaught of truth,
Is not a perceived activity to pursue.
It is there for those aware of it!
It is there not to be abused to undo.
Look into a mirror.
The hour for self examination has arrived.
The results are clear.
Do not be surprised.
When one is accustomed to sending mixed signals...
The consistency of this,
Achieves results that are the quickest.
And one should come to grips with it.
Inconsistency begets distrust.
And any signs of loyalty disconnects quickly...
As if rushed.
To dissipate from expectations.
With debates of this then hushed.
