Faded Glory – GOOT

I felt the glory
but I can’t fake it anymore
All that I once was
faded away and now it’s gone
and when it dawns
this isn’t what I meant to do
I tear it down
rethink, destroy and build anew

I cannot fake it anymore
All that I controlled
Slipped away and now it’s gone
it is not in me anymore
All that I once was
Faded out and now it’s gone

a two-page story
on repeat until the end
faded glory
made a shadow of a man
and when it dawns
this isn’t what I meant to do
I tear it down
rethink, destroy and build anew

one success
milk it dry
stretch it out
blow it up and live the lie
those that could
still think they can
where they should
take a bow and step aside
