Fading Away

Relationships today, what can I say?
 They're like a joke or just something all the players can play
 Like let's get drunk and find somebody, maybe then we will 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 are reaching out their hand for a shake
 It's kinda crazy looking back on 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 and drink just to forget who they are
 Find some temporary love that only tears them apart
 See, today everything is about sex
 It's the reason you're at the bar always spending your cheques
 Hoping there's someone there so you can take your mind off 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 themselves 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
 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 yourself worth based upon the likes that you get
 I guess that's why you post the pictures when you are looking your best
 So maybe dudes can fantasize over your ass or your chest
 It's like we're needing approval or someone's constant attention
 And honestly all these things are causing us tension
 We think we're moving forward but haven't made no progression
 And after all this time you would think we are learning our lesson
 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 are too busy checking pages 'bout their old girl
 It's kinda funny right? 'cause i'm guilty too
 I'm just simply one 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 are 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're needing direction
 To focus on what matters, not our likes or 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
 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
 And then we take to Twitter and tweet how much we hate it
 And then go out the next weekend 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
