Departures

Today all colours are bleeding

Across the ocean

I am sorry I couldn't stay


How does it feel to own what you are

To unstitch your heart without causing a flood

To fall but never ceasing to believe

In light taking over darkness

To breathe life in serenity


If only I knew how to forgive

If only I knew how to let go

If only I knew how to own what I am


Galaxies away

I am riding the waves of the lost

Lead this ship astray

Make me hate you again

Fear, trust, guilt, love

In the grip of a coming storm

I am sinking under the weight of a troubled sun


When bitterness conquered the heart

And left us crawling in the cold


Screaming worth a lifetime

With a voice of a follower

Always too soon

Always too late


Screaming worth a lifetime

With a voice of a follower

Always too soon

Always too late

Always in between


If only I knew how to forgive

If only I knew how to let go

If only I knew how to own what I am


If only I knew how to forgive

If only I knew how to let go

If only I knew how to own what I am
