You grew wings, on your heart

But you let it out your ribcage

Like a ghost, just like a ghost

And it flutters by my window
Bm D
When I need my sleep the most

Cadd9 D
So choose my weapon and choose my way

starting to notice you're fading away
Cadd9 D
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow,
G Em
fade like a shadow, fade..
Cadd9 D
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
