Fading

They look past me like I’m not around,
I can join in but it’s like I make no sound,

We used to laugh and joke and dare,
I can laugh along but it’s like I’m not there,

There’s a tension that nothing can mend,
Like everyone here is playing pretend,

My voice falls upon deaf ears,
And blind eyes see my face,
In a room full of my oldest friends,
Why do I feel so out of place?
It’s like I’m slipping out of life,
Or I’m being erased,
It feels like I’m,
Fading...

Trying to convince myself that it’ll be fine,
But I know by their faces that I’m out of time,

If I disappear, so will my dreams,
No one will miss me, my tears go unseen,

I don’t understand, was it something I did?
Did I make them all angry? Why don’t I fit in?

My voice falls upon deaf ears,
And blind eyes see my face,
In a room full of my oldest friends,
Why do I feel so out of place?
It’s like I’m slipping out of life,
Or I’m being erased,
It feels like I’m,
Fading...

Turning invisible, I’m suddenly gone,
Wanting to turn back to days when I shone,
They’ll all forget me, but I was here all along...

My voice falls upon deaf ears,
And blind eyes see my face,
In a room full of my oldest friends,
Why do I feel so out of place?
It’s like I’m slipping out of life,
Or I’m being erased,
It feels like I’m,
Fading...

Fading...

Oh, this is so perfect, this really is amazing! It's got a perfect theme and a conveyance of emotions that I can really connect with. Also, I assume it was meant to be "There’s a tension that nothing can mend".

This is going to sound weird but I want to see if I am psychic, I predict you typed this in a different application and then copied it into a thread. How did I do?

Thanks. This song was hanging around for a while.
Ah, damn, yes, it's meant to be 'mend' - I'll remedy that in a sec!! :P

And in answer to your question of your psychicness, I always type songs up in Word and save them onto my user space and my USB before uploading them Back up's important...

Especially when the USB goes through the wash.

Three times.

But hey, it still works perfectly

Do you know how I knew?

No, I don't... go on, shock me

An apostrophe on a standard keyboard looks like ', however I knew Word changed them automatically like you have in "It feels like I’m" to look slightly different. The same occurs with speech marks. Magic!

Oooh, very clever, Mr Bond

Jeez... was I depressed???!!!!

You're an amazing song writer.

Ah, Fading. One of my more emotionally-charged, tears-on-the-keyboard moments We all have our moments, I guess.
Glad it did the job for you
