"Lonely" lyrics

I knew a guy who played pretend
Could feel that it was near the end
The time was running out
And he could feel the end of the road
Politics and talking trash
Finding something else to bash
Always had an army of followed
Wanna-bes up his ass

And when they dropped down to their knees
Understand the reality
It doesn't even matter what anybody ever really thinks

An ego grew the size of states
The efforts made they seemed too late
The power and the glory fades away when no one cares
All alone you knew you would
Paying someone like you could
To hang out with you
And listen to you talk throughout the night

And when they dropped down to their knees
I understand the reality
The fame and fortune ran out
Just like we all knew it would

When you're out of the light
No one cares if you're in sight
Just tired of the bullshit that you preach
Fade away
Fade away

Before the change was not that bad
A normal guy who always had
A darker side you kept it to yourself
Comfortable so you spoke out
Wore on your sleeve what your about
I guess the thought of sharing all your dirt
Makes you feel good

The problem is that no one cares
Keep on talking into the air
Always trying to justify why you should be the king

When you're out of the light
No one cares if you're in sight
Just tired of the bullshit that you preach
I can never make it mine
And kept count of losing fight
It's sad to see your empire
Falling down
Fade away
Fade away

Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Just fade away
