"Fade" lyrics - SLEATER-KINNEY

When the last strip of light is dimming
When the spotlight starts to fade
If there's no tomorrow
You better live

[Chorus:]
All of the roles that we played
Hit your mark, push the walls, stretch the stage
Oh, what a price that we paid
My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end

[Bridge:]
Unbelievable masquerade
Never revealing your truth
Deeper inside that mask you made
Losing the face of you

Tell me what do you see in the last script
Yeah it's a trip, what's it all for?
If we are truly dancing our swan song, darling
Shake it like never before

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Oh what a price that we paid
My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end
