Goodbye

(album: The Great Tale Of How I Ruined It All - 2018)

I never thought I
Would muster the courage to leave here
I broke free of what kept me trapped here
And I don't think I'm coming back here
So goodbye, farewell
I don't need you now
I don't need you now

These decaying walls were all that kept me sane
I entrusted everything I had and all my pain
In this Sheetrock jail, this self made prison
I've survived fine but I'm not living
This cautionary coffin, that I'm not dying off in
I'm breaking out to face my enemies
This time I'll stop them
Almost forget them hiding in the dark
But they remember me and have my name upon their scars

Me and my past must rift apart
But I'll always keep this on my arm

Goodbye to my new home
I miss you dearly even though
You might have stolen my whole life
But I don't think that I'd be alone
I get this feeling that
I'm not the first and not the last
To find solace in this empty room
Broken but always true

How cliche for me to carve my name
Into the insides of this old rotten place
I'll go away until another day
I hate that I can miss a room this way
It's sad to say

Me and my past must rift apart
But I'll always keep this on my arm

Goodbye to my new home
I miss you dearly even though
You might have stolen my whole life
But I don't think that I'd be alone
I get this feeling that
I'm not the first and not the last
To find solace in this empty room
Broken but always true

Finally leave this shallow lens to
Just move on and make amends
With my past self, my naive goals
Take my wishes to the end

Goodbye to my new home
I miss you dearly even though
You might have stolen my whole life
But I don't think that I'd be alone
I get this feeling that
I'm not the first and not the last
To find solace in this empty room
Broken but always true

Me and my past must rift apart
But I'll always keep this on my arm
