Take one last look,
At that solemn face,
Remember what it used to make.
The joys,
The smiles,
The conversations that stretch for miles.
Take one last look,
Recall all that happened,
And you find a tear somewhat beside you.
For happiness is only temporary,
Loneliness is certain,
Those thoughts in your head,
Well,
They’re your burden.
Take one last look,
For you mistook,
This world for something else.
You thought it was blissful,
You thought it was tranquil,
But now you can’t understand it,
You can’t demand of it,
You’re enslaved by it,
Those chains tie you down,
Till you become part of the ground.
Take one last look,
That’s all you need,
To say your farewells,
And proceed somewhere else.

Take one last look,
At that solemn face,
Remember what it used to make.
The joys,
The smiles,
The conversations that stretch for miles.
Take one last look,
Recall all that happened,
And you find a tear somewhat beside you.
For happiness is only temporary,
Loneliness is certain,
Those thoughts in your head,
Well,
They’re your burden.
Take one last look,
For you mistook,
This world for something else.
You thought it was blissful,
You thought it was tranquil,
But now you can’t understand it,
You can’t demand of it,
You’re enslaved by it,
Those chains tie you down,
Till you become part of the ground.
Take one last look,
That’s all you need,
To say your farewells,
And proceed somewhere else.
