We Are

And Will Fade

One day my name will be forgotten

Fiction always challenges the sane

All things will be forgotten in the end

***

Beautifully attractive, while inside the core is rotten

Sacrifice is lost when nothing’s left to gain

One day my name will be forgotten

***

There is no one left to send

That could ever mask the pain

All things will be forgotten in the end

***

Sad the losing of a friend

With no hope to love again

One day my name will be forgotten

***

So we practice at pretend

Though nothing will ever be the same

All things will be forgotten in the end

***

So, this moment signifies the beginning of the end

Regrets a game that only fools play

One day my name will be forgotten

All things will be forgotten in the end
