There's time on the wall, but no one around 
His will is numb, he's half in the ground 
If all we are is all we were 
Then he'd soon pass on without a whisper 
And life goes on 

And I will not be told 
I won't be controlled 
I don't want your cure 
I won't be reassured 
I will not be fixed 
You're the one that's sick 
And I will not decay 
I won't ever fade away 

I'll not fade away 

There's flies on the wall and no one around 
Once bright eyes are dull, she's half in the ground 
And life goes on 

And I will not be changed 
I will not be chained 
I will not be tamed 
I will not behave 
I will not be caged 
I will not be slave 
I won't be contained 
I will never fade away
