Fading into the background

I really just want to fade away, and wish not wait another day
i really just want the silence and calm, and wish not alarm anyone
I really just want to fade away, into the silence, into the grey
Come winter, let me reflect with pen in hand, lost in words
Come spring, place me in the yard, among the flowers and the birds
Come summer, plop me in the forest, and I'll hike among the trees
Come fall, I'll traipse among the land, and frolic in the leaves
I really just want to fade away, and wish not wait another day
i really just want the silence and calm, and wish not alarm anyone
I really just want to fade away, into the silence, into the grey
I wish no glory, I wish no fame
I need not bear a known name
The race to the top ends in shame
The heart turns weak, the mind, lame
The top, will soon find you on the bottom
I dream in fear, but my mind deletes the tapes
I scream out loud but no sound escapes
I'm dying inside to fill in the gapes
But each day, I rise, awake and reshape
I really just want to fade away, and wish not wait another day
i really just want the silence and calm, and wish not alarm anyone
I really just want to fade away, into the silence, into the grey
