Ollie - Fading Away lyrics

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 shit
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 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'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 fucking 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
