A Scream Goodbye

Four instant coffees down
My synapses hazed
I cut my way through the hedge
A shortcut in this maze

I hear a humming in the distance
Probably the grate of wanderlust
I don't have enough enemies
And too many people that I trust

Feel like I'm floating
On feathers above the ground
Life doesn't feel real anymore
The past has been rewound

The crows are busy squawking
And I hear nothing but songs
I swear everywhere I walk
There's a clatter of applause

I remember the darkness
I remember my fears
As I slowly fell for years and years
I remember waking
And feeling dead inside
No fucking idea what to do with my life

I must have escaped the cave
And now my surroundings all seem light
Everything moves out the way
Nothing puts up a fight

The trees lining the road wave
To the souls that they've brushed
I'm just living in the moment
And struggling to adjust

I remember the darkness
I remember my fears
As I slowly fell for years and years
I remember waking
And feeling dead inside
No fucking idea what to do with my life

But now when I wake up
I feel alive
I spread my wings
And scream goodbye
I soar over trees
No sign of the time
When I spent my days
Planning which bridges to climb
