Öris - Fade lyrics

They say as you grow
Things you thought you needed
Will prove you otherwise
As they slip from under the veil of necessity
And fall away in a cascade
No matter how tight your grip

As tethers tear you'll realise
None of them were a power source
Retinas show you the light
Serotonin keeps you content
It all starts with you
The only true defeat you'll ever know
Is when your mortal coil
Delivers the final blow

Make peace with the fact
That your agony means you're still intact
You can start anew
Collecting temporary effects
Entertaining promises of perpetuity
Your TV may come with a 10-year warranty
But change is the only guarantee
The details of faces once adored will fade
What gave you purpose
May lie battered, discarded and useless
And perfect moments become
Perforated with bitterness
Look for the torment you'll easily find it
It never dissipates absences always resonate
Like a car-crash
You might find that you just can't look away
Like a masochist
You can't tune out from the voices
Telling you that nothing stayed
Because you made them leave this way

Time is a construct, not a healer
Sickness stems and is cured in the mind
We're just animals acting on instinct
But it doesn't have to be a dog eat dog world
We can take our failures and losses
And see opportunity for growth
Instead of reprisal

We can elevate to new worlds
And realize that what's in the distance
Doesn't need to be out of
Mind or out of sight

You get a choice in what you carry
Make it light or make it heavy
Just leave enough room for love
