Departure Lyrics

The electricity in this mirror
Whispers to my ears
About all the clashing pathways I live with
Hitting my senses with sparks and nails
Showing me what things would be
If nights didn't last a lifetime
And darkness wasn't this lonesome
Years to come are just a blur in the eye
The shape of a ghost caught while falling down
Years to come are buried in this ocean's belly
Floating as deep as that diary I threw in long ago
Its pages melting in each other
Thoughts and thoughts shapeshifting away
Ink stains forming the only word still worth reading
Departure

Disappearing like the turn in a magic trick
There is no prestige in this act though
The magician is not coming back any time soon

Tonight
May the echo of all the words I didn't pronounce
Dance in the air for us
Like thousands of bones reflecting the moonlight
Tonight
May everything that is mine be eaten up by fire

I'll honor the cracking sound of my own past
Smell the sweet bitterness of this all in front of me
And once the salt of these tears will dry out
I'll rejoice for the chance of seeing you again
Nothing true comes without destruction
And with the ashes of my demise
I'll paint a new door to open
And may the quiet that follows
Be as kind as the child's smile in me
While choking from all of this unwanted attention

The electricity in this mirror
Whispers to my ears
About all the clashing pathways I live with
Hitting my senses with sparks and nails
Showing me what things would be
If nights didn't last a lifetime
And darkness wasn't this lonesome
