I've Built my life on a selfish dream
Take my strides against your lead
Hide behind fleeting phrase
Lose myself when I hear your name
I fade to dust I'm here than gone
I've built my towers on my name
I can't pretend to know it all
When I hide behind these prideful walls
I carve my name in a fading wind
Cause when I count it all I've only lost control
I'm off then on
In the fading wind
I'm off then on
It's fading quick
I'm giving up take control
All I am is dust and bones
My heart took joy in what I've done
But as I fade I'm left with none
I'm prone to fail a fading wind
A vapor of what you had planned
I can't pretend to know it all
When I hide behind these prideful walls
Don't let me fall apart
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
Don't let me fall apart
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I carve my name in a fading wind
Cause when I count it all I've only lost control
I'm off then on
In the fading wind
I'm off then on
It's fading quick
