The Departing

I never knew a song could hurt so much

Until you took it and tore my ears apart.

Depart, depart from my thoughts.

Depart, depart from my mind.

I must, by all means, leave you far, far behind

In the dusty, mangled brain of mine.

Without you, I will do just fine.

 

Believe me,

You are the dark sea

That I should never subject myself to receive

Ever again.

 

I don’t need your lack of speed.

I don’t need my own selfish greed.
