Lyrics

She came to me again last night
I calmed the light and held on tight
Never figured out when to let go
Delete the need to know and watch it grow
Sometimes its so loud I can't concentrate
I'm so tired and it's so late
Endless rhythms run thru my head
A never ending nightmare ahead
CH
Fade To Black- stop this noise inside my mind
I can't turn back- whats been lost I cannot find
A way to gain control tonight I'll seek
No rest for the wicked or the weak
She always comes back - she won't let me Fade To Black

V2
Well there's no escape from this endless sound
Can't shut it down it keeps me bound
A crowded room I'm still alone
It's mine to own the seeds are sewn
Living in a constant white
She waits there for me every night
It's no problem it's okay
If I could just move on thru the gray and
Fade To Black Sto[p this noise inside my mind
I can't turn back
Whats been lost I cannot find
A way to gain control tonight I'll seek
No rest for the wicked or the weak
She always comes back- she won't let me fade..

Spoken Interlude:
Well she came to me
again last night,
this eternal muse
darkness and light
What do you want?
I asked, I cried -
and to this she laughed
and then replied
"Why merely for you to succeed -
to use what you have, to follow my lead
Consider the source
and then tap deep,
no rest you'll have
not even in sleep..."
I told her,
sometimes it gets so loud
i can't shut the noise off
in my head.
"Oh, there's no way
to get what you want,
not without bleeding
a little first" she said
It's a curse and a blessing all at the same time,
the perfect scene
for the perfect crime
You've never had a choice, isn't that clear?
You're destined to interpret all you hear...
So take my hand,
there's no turning back, unless of course,
you really want to fade to...

Chorus
Fade to black
stop this noise inside my mind
I can't turn back
What's been lost I cannot find

Fade To Black
