Eyes Fade Away is the eleventh song on the album A Million Degrees by Emigrate.

Background

• The song existed since the recording of Silent So Long. The lyrics to this song were shown in the Webisode 4 at 03:09.
• The solo was played by Steve Binetti.
• In a track-by-track interview with Kerrang!, Richard said the following about the song:

It’s always a hard thing in life when you decide you have to move on and leave someone behind. I’ve realised from experience that when you do that, it really hurts and you go through a lot of pain. But after some years, you look back and know exactly why you had to do that or life decide to split up a certain situation and you lost something. That’s what the song is all about – things going away, but in the end, for the greater good… because it just has to be like that.

Lyrics

Album version

If I could see the end I'd've taken better aim And get you in my sight And blow away your name Find a way To overmedicate I drive so far away It all goes up in flames (I try to get high) I try to get high when I See no other way To let the light in fighting Through another day If I could only Drain you from my veins Wash away what once was It all goes up in flames Your eyes they fade away Fade away from me When I look deep inside Feel nothing till it feels right Your eyes they fade away And I don't wanna see There's nothing left alive I'm burning on the inside And still I take it with me Everywhere I go Followed by memories I wish I didn't know I'm dividing Turning into stone Another shadow And I go up in flames Your eyes they fade away Fade away from me When I look deep inside Feel nothing till it feels right Your eyes they fade away And I don't wanna see There's nothing left alive I'm burning on the inside Your eyes they fade away Fade away from me When I look deep inside Feel nothing till it feels right Your eyes they fade away And I don't wanna see There's nothing left alive I'm burning on the inside Your eyes they fade away Fade away from me There's nothing left alive I'm burning on the inside (Burning on the inside)

Unfinished version (as seen in the Webisode video)

Find a way to (Another day I) Drive (Go) so far away while (as) it All goes up in flames I try to get (to stay) high I try to get high when I See no other way To let the light in fightning Through another day If I could only Drain you from my veins / Take (Kill) away the pain / Wash away the stain Wash away what once was (And) I could get away / Get another face / Put something in place And still I take it with me Everywhere I go Followed by memories I (We) wish I (we) didn't know / I wish I'd never know / That take me down below Diamond knives that / Another knife that Cut(s) straight to the bone / Cut right through (to) the bone Another shadow Won't (it won't) drag me down below / I can't let it drag me down below
