Lyrics
Departure
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Light fades
And the mind begins to change
Eyes sink
The void to begin a new day
Dreaming of the heavens
Your body takes your mind
To unimaginable places
Skipping forward in time
Your lifelong ambition
Your constant thought patterns end
The reason you lived
(And the reason you died)
The reason why you were sent:
Is the image you see
So perfectly real
So perfectly flawed
Is the face you see so young? twisted visions inside
Is the face you see a complete utter fantasy?
Breathe deep
For this is your last breath
Now sleep
This dream will help you mend
A moment of closure
Your lips form a smile
Living in vein
Now a forgotten cry
Are the eyes you've seen; are they crying?
Been in misery? are they dead?
Can you ever say they were yours?
In the life you lived
Just hold onto the beauty
Hold onto the thought
The beauty which you felt
Was the desire you lost
Your happiness for a moment
Is all that you did ask
You received it leaving this world
Departure worth the Earth
Is the image you see
So perfectly real?
Or is it perfectly flawed?
Is the image you see?
So perfectly real?
Or is it just a dream? complete fantasy
