Fading Out
Summing up those faded moments in a life that's static
White noise scratching at bleeding ears
Days full of this and that but a soul that feels empty
Tunnel streched into the distance the light is but a pin point now
I dont know myself
Couldn't pick her out in a crowd if i wanted to
I live but i am no longer alive
...im losing that fire...
The flames turned to embers awhile ago
Barely even ashes now
Senses dulled by unuse now
Sharper than ever when they get a chance to get a taste
Think im turning into an automaton playing the game
Getting pretty good at it
Comfort is messing with the synapses
Firing one cylinder short
Im going dead inside
Need once again to feel lifes' intoxicating high
Help me please to feel alive
White noise scratching at bleeding ears
Days full of this and that but a soul that feels empty
Tunnel streched into the distance the light is but a pin point now
I dont know myself
Couldn't pick her out in a crowd if i wanted to
I live but i am no longer alive
...im losing that fire...
The flames turned to embers awhile ago
Barely even ashes now
Senses dulled by unuse now
Sharper than ever when they get a chance to get a taste
Think im turning into an automaton playing the game
Getting pretty good at it
Comfort is messing with the synapses
Firing one cylinder short
Im going dead inside
Need once again to feel lifes' intoxicating high
Help me please to feel alive

"White noise scratching at bleeding ears" I like that, it has a nice ring to it. The part where you say that comfort messes with the synapses is a nice strong statement, but I think that you could've perhaps explained a bit more. I think my favourite part is where you say "I don't know myself, couldn't pick her out in a crowd if I wanted to". Overall it may lack a bit of detail and there are a few places that you could've added some backbone, but it actually suits the content -emotionless, numb, dulled senses. I like it, good write :)

I can relate to this so much...every word of it, the numbness spreads inside and it seems nothing can stop it, only temporary slowing it down..sometimes i think it's for the best, leading to inner peace...or undeath..thank you for sharing this :)

"Undeath" that's a very interesting way to put it, but it isnt good to be numb all the time...after all what's the point of living if we're always numb....

"I live but i am no longer alive

The flames turned to embers awhile ago
Barely even ashes now" <-that was the meat in the soup for me!

at one time that type of living was compared to being a Zombie. The look at ourselves from outside in can be just as difficult as looking from the inside out.

Zombie...hmm its very fitting
From the outside in i appear someone comfortable in the monotony but inside its killing me

Totally relate to this!My fire died/had died since june i guess,slowing trying to wake up/rise up again!
Its okey not to be okey sometimes,its okey to stay down,go back to the drawing board and re-strategize till you strong enough to make a move again.
But even as hailstones persist and thorns keeps piercing more,its important you remember,always remember that you are stronger than you can ever image!
Keep breathing,even when those dear lungs wanna give up,don't you dare give in.And one day you will wake up to the warm summer rain and the wonderful melodies of the birds calling out your name and you will go out and dance with them without a care who is watching or is not and that day you will realize how much beautiful life is and you will realize that you(and not anyone else) holds the match to light/re-light the fire in your soul and from that day,you will live again!
Good luck my dear!
