Self-doubt blackout, faded
Silence deafens, pervading
Take a step back, by myself
and try this life again somewhere else
Misstep, misunderstanding
Lifehack, life overwhelming
Truth has never been too hard to face
But it seems to me I’m out of place
I slip silently
Blinded by misery
As death follows me
Obscure the life ahead of me
As I step to the edge, tiptoeing towards
The unknown before me
I stop and reflect
This ain’t the way that I want it to end
No direction
Chorus:
Thoughts in my mind, to leave this behind
Cause I guess there’s no point in saying goodbye
Once more love dies, far from these lights
Cause I guess there’s no point in saying goodbye…
Life clock, non-stop running
Sickened by what I’m becoming
Minor setback, major pain
Fallen leaves and freezing rain
Replaced, relive the memory
Reminded, of all that I can’t be
When I’ve never really felt so low
When it turns around, I’ll never known
Lady death, keep calling out my name
I won’t agree to end this life in vain
Existential dread, misery reigns
I will not rest my head beneath a nameless grave
As I step to the edge, no longer afraid of the abyss that calls me
How often I’ve seen, every rainbow I’ve chased
Drowning out in its reflection
(chorus)
Waiting till I, fade and expire
But I guess there’s no point in saying… Goodbye.
