The world is growing loud. 
It's time for us to fade away.
I wish that I could say. 

The lights are going out. 
We knew they had to go one day.
I wish to take this in.

The skies are falling down.
Too late for us to change out minds.
I wish to keep us safe.

The times are changing fast. 
We knew they wouldn't last this long.
I had to keep the pace.

The world is growing loud.
It's time for us to fade away.
I wish that I could stay.
