Goodbye (feat. Godforbid)

Fear in me
Thought I coulda ran from the man that I am
But now it's clear to me
Objects in the rear view mirror much closer than they appear to be
What's dear to me now becomes dead to me
Kinda wish somebody woulda said to me
That mystique is the recipe
That is
If heavenly is what I'm really meant to be
My destiny
So I gotta focus my energy on the journey ahead of me
But the brick road made of gold that lead to me
Will one day get the best of me
Came here as a refugee
And I'll fight til the death of me
So you can remember me

All of the rumors are true
I'm made of magic and you could be too
So here's what I need you to do
Believe all the words that you hear on the news about me and a screw that was loose
And how I refuse to be viewed
As anything close than a regular dude
So that I can prove it to you
That magic is something you choose to believe in
When sanities something you think you could lose
When a whole lot of people wanna tell you
That you're never gonna be anything other than one of their enemies
If you pretend to be
Anything other than one of the regular bricks in the road
That they expect you to be
But inevitably
Will they follow the lead of the people in power because they're elected to be

GOODBYE
To all of the green screens and the green curtains
GOODBYE
To all of the second guesses that you need to be certain
GOODBYE
To all of the villainy that becomes evident
Only when killing me seems to be relevant
If you no longer believe in my rhetoric
I say
GOODBYE
To all of the bedlam in the melting pot
GOODBYE
To climbing the grape vine that no truth can top
GOODBYE
To a feeling of fear that you only condone
By never admitting you're all on your own
Believing you'll always be cold as a stone
Forgetting the fact that your heart is your home

And if I have to try, a million times
I will die a million times
And if I have to say goodbye
This brilliant light you felt inside that lives behind those dreamy eyes

The Tinman
Oiling hinges of the irony
Messing with the wiring
Scarecrow admiring the fires gleam
With the courage that the lion needs
Smiling something spiraling inside of me
The line between who you are and who you'd like to be
Idols of a dying breed
So when it's time to leave
I'm not going quietly
Just make sure you say goodbye to me

GOODBYE
To all of the green screens and the green curtains
GOODBYE
To all of the second guesses that you need to be certain
GOODBYE
To all of the villainy that becomes evident
Only when killing me seems to be relevant
If you no longer believe in my rhetoric
I say
GOODBYE
To all of the bedlam in the melting pot
GOODBYE
To climbing the grape vine that no truth can top
GOODBYE
To a feeling of fear that you only condone
By never admitting you're all on your own
Believing you'll always be cold as a stone
Forgetting the fact that your heart is your home
Your heart is your home
