Lyrics of Fading Away by Ollie
verse
Relationships today, what can I say?
They're like a joke or just something all the players can play
Like let's get drunk and find somebody, maybe then we will get laid
And we don't care about relationships or people we break
verse
I had some high school friends that turned into snakes
They just wait for you to turn so they can take, take, take
Turn back around and they are reaching out their hand for a shake
It's kinda crazy looking back on all the people who fake
verse
And listen you won't find no love at the bar
Just a bunch of broken people out to cover their scars
Who drink and drink and drink and drink just to forget who they are
Find some temporary love that only tears them apart
verse
See, today everything is about sex
It's the reason you're at the bar always spending your cheques
Hoping there's someone there so you can take your mind off your ex
And go claim to someone new that you are not like the rest
verse
But really you just wanna cover a scar
And tomorrow you'll wake up and just forget who they are
And now the person you used is in the place that where you were
So they go drink and drink and drink and find themselves at a bar
verse
It's such a cruel cycle, leaving us all on the brink
But we're too caught up in ourselves that's why we never can think
Made a puzzle out of life that I can never solve
I guess that's why I'm at the bar with another drink
chorus
I'm so sick of faking things
Masking life with all these drinks
And I can't find no other way
So I'll sit here and fade away
chorus
Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away
Drinking all this pain away
I'll sit here and fade away
'Cause I can't find no other way
verse
And I don't get this Instagram shit
Like is yourself worth based upon the likes that you get
I guess that's why you post the pictures when you are looking your best
So maybe dudes can fantasize over your ass or your chest
verse
It's like we're needing approval or someone's constant attention
And honestly all these things are causing us tension
We think we're moving forward but haven't made no progression
And after all this time you would think we are learning our lesson
verse
I fucking hate it, stupid phone world
People walking around inside of they own world
Never focused on the things that actually matter in life
They are too busy checking pages 'bout their old girl
verse
It's kinda funny right? 'cause i'm guilty too
I'm just simply one y'all tryna make it through
But on my way I'm tryna help a few of you
'Cause damn, it helps seeing things from someone else's view
verse
We are slowly losing connection
While tryna find some reception
It's sad that photoshopped girls are representing perfection
We're not lost, I just think we're needing direction
To focus on what matters, not our likes or our mentions
verse
And I'm not perfect, but I swear I make this music for you
I ain't rapping 'bout my money, I just give you the truth
'Cause life's hard and everybody's dealing with issues
I just hope my music helps you all escape for a few
chorus
I'm so sick of faking things
Masking life with all these drinks
And I can't find no other way
So I'll sit here and fade away
chorus
I'm so sick of faking things
Masking life with all these drinks
And I can't find no other way
So I'll sit here and fade away
chorus
Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away
Drinking all this pain away
I'll sit here and fade away
'Cause I can't find no other way
verse
Damn, it's such a tragedy ain't it?
We're stuck inside this cycle that we fucking created
And then we take to Twitter and tweet how much we hate it
And then go out the next weekend and keep the cycle remaining
verse
See, I'm the sound of the truth
Tearing up all of these booths
I'm tryna heal a bunch of people feeling empty and used
I understand your position, so turn this up and just listen
And maybe we can make world where hurt and pain is all fiction
