Lyrics:

Farewell
The feelings run deep
Here at last comes the end
Of our fellowship

For some faith
Hope walks by my side
Before she turns to advise me
Daydream's experience sensory
Don't end up giving up on them
A life beneath a memory

It's no fiction....It's
My valediction

If you'd stayed what would you say?
When your dreams collapsed
In less than one day
What would you say?
The little voice in your head
Repeats: "Don't throw it away"

This place no longer
Fulfills your dreams
Like it used to
I would not despair
But the tides of time
Are being kind of unfair
To all those behind
I'll leave a tear and a smile
Cause distance sometimes
Puts your faith in the test
Well I wish you the best

Hollowed out the hearts you see
That wollow in their misery
The heavy hearts and sinking legs
They keep free spirits pinned to earth

Suddenly I feel
A rise that moves our feet
We took a plunge
From the edge

Hollowed out the hearts you see
That took no leap of faith
Following this, make sure
Not to repeat ever the same mistake

Safe to say together we defied
Gravity's existence
Just for tonight

Written in failures
Our history
All we try always ends up
Miserably

Of all the people I meet
Less than half of them
Meet the words they say

This place no longer fulfills your dreams
Like it used to
I would not despair
But the tides of time
Are being kind of unfair
To all those behind
I'll leave a tear and a smile
Cause distance sometimes
Puts your faith in the test
Well I wish you the best

Once in your lifetime
Speak the truth to yourself
Then you will see and realise
That fear's imagination's prize

When gone to sleep
The bitterness forgotten in all this
A mental census
Of what you've grown to accomplish

I know I won't leave the shore unmanned
My loved ones will keep close
The place that made me who I am
