Fade Into The Night

-Fade Into The Night-
by
Keaton Foster



To the darkness of life
Upon the consequence
Of every single plight
Those of us
Not meant to be
Must fade into the night
Into emptiness defied
Willingly we must scream
Never again to be seen
Absent of another dream
Our voices no longer
To be believed
Liars and heretics
Intertwined
False logics enshrined
Inward bound
Is all that is acceptable
Outward bound
Must flow no sound
Upon every page
Will be written our grave
Our bodies turned
Into former temples
We pray to no god
Especially ourselves
We must accepts our fate
Because such a shared destiny
Will no longer wait
There is and will be
No reasonable escape
If we even try to flee
If we attempt to fight the bleed
Then someone that we love
Some other impossible beast
Will be sacrificed in our place
The guilt alone
Would riddle our bones
Upon such weight
We would fall
Deeper still
Deeper than intended
Further down than ever before
Down into the darkest depths
A place that even us
Have only even been willing to circle
Upon such an edge we have stood
Upon that same edge we have lived
While others run from its sight
Into the hands of God’s delight
We have always stood quite still
Between our own version
Of heaven and hell
Between giving in
And continually speaking out
We have said what needs to be said
Now we must fade into the night
A new day will be sure to come
But certainly without us
We have never been meant to see
A tomorrow that we can believe
We must fade into the night
We must disappear before the day
That all of this will change…
