DUNCAN SHEIK LYRICS - Nothing Fades

"Nothing Fades"



Turning the wheel to emptiness

There when you breathe your final breath

No one to hold you anymore

Haven't they told you, baby



You're always alive

Always alive



Leaving the plane of time and space

Leaving the mask of every face

Just like the sun and every ray

Might as well smile 'cause baby



We all die one day

We all die one day



Not square, not round

The silence in the sound

Not short, not long

The quiet in the song

It carries you along



Some of the people here believe

Reading a book of prophesies

Some of you sigh and turn away

Nobody knows, so what's the play?



You're here now

You're here for now



What does it matter anyway

Whatever I sing or what you say

Taking a chance, we place a bet

It ain't gonna get you to black or red



This time around

This time around



No cause, no condition

Who knows your position?

Not you, no other

What will you discover?



You never disappear

So tell me why you fear

Neither are you born

Sometimes still you mourn



Never do you arise

You're never low or high

No one acts, no one is made

Nothing glows, nothing fades



Nothing fades, nothing fades

Nothing fades, nothing fades
