Fading Away (Prod. Kevin Peterson)

Relationships today, what can I say?

They are like a joke or just something all the players can play

Like let's get drunk and find somebody

Maybe then we'll get laid

And we don't care about relationships or people we break

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're reaching out their hand for a shake

It is kinda crazy looking back at all the people who fake

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 just to forget who they are

Find some temporary love that only tears them apart

See, today, everything's about sex

It's the reason you at the bar always spending your cheques

Hoping there's someone there so you can take your mind of your ex

And go claim to someone new that you are not like the rest

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 themself at a bar

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

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

Yeah, I'll sit here and fade away

Drinking all this pain away

And I'll sit here and fade away

'Cause I can't find no other way

And I don't get this Instagram s**t

Like is your self-worth based upon the likes that you get?

I guess that's why you post the pictures when you're looking your best

So maybe dudes can fantasize over your ass or your chest

It's like we needing approval, someone's constant attention

And honestly, all these things are causing us tension

We think we moving forward but haven't made no progression

And after all this time you would think we learning our lesson

And I f**king hate it, stupid phone world

People walking around inside of they own world

Never focused on the things that actually matter in life

They're too busy checking pages about their old girl

It's kinda funny, right? 'Cause I'm guilty too

I'm just simply one of 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

We're 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 needing direction

To focus on what matters not our likes and our mentions

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

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

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

Yeah I'll sit here and fade away

Drinking all this pain away

And I'll sit here and fade away

'Cause I can't find no other way

Damn it's such a tragedy ain't it?

We're stuck inside this cycle that we ****ing created

Then we take to Twitter and tweet how much that we hate it

And then go out the next week and keep the cycle remaining

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
