Last Cry Before I Fade

When the old life says goodbye, and you take control of where it ends. A story about that final, desperate cry for help – before surrendering to peace. Where the fight ends and calm begins.

It’s not about giving up – but about choosing how it ends.

Last Cry Before I Fade

Verse 1
I'm standing still in a world that runs
Breathing smoke, under dying suns
My voice is hoarse from calling out
But no one hears what I’m about

Verse 2
I used to laugh like the world was mine
Now the echo’s all that I can find
The mirror shows a stranger’s face
Falling slow, with no escape

Chorus
This is the last cry before I fade
No more fight, no more parade
Just quiet winds and closing skies
One last breath before goodbye

Verse 3
I walk alone through the noise and glare
But I don't belong, I’m barely there
The hands I reached for slipped away
Nothing left that wants to stay

Pre-chorus
I’ve given all, there’s nothing more
Just this whisper behind the door

Chorus
This is the last cry before I fade
No more wounds left to be made
Just stillness now, no need to run
The night has come… I’m finally done

Solo

Bridge
I see their faces in the dark
Flickers of love that missed the mark
But time moves on and takes its toll
And leaves you empty, leaves you cold

Chorus
This is the last cry before I fade
A final word I couldn’t say
No anger now, no weight to bear
Just drifting slow, into thin air

Outro
One last sound...
Then I’m gone…
