Departed

Cradled in the echos of time we draft an anthem
A melody rich in paradox
Comfort and sorrow intertwined
Lured by the whispers of a tale once spun
Our mission takes form
Resist the pull
Surge against the current
And within this rebellion
Unmask the mystery of tomorrow

Departed the old
Departed the past
Started to grow
I started to laugh
It's hard to let go when I'm so attached
Hard to let go but everything pass
Wish it was different
The point that I'm missing
Is moments I lived in I can't get 'em back
Gotta stop grieving
Been lost in my dreams and I drop and release it and leave it at that
Departed denial
I stop and I smile
From dropping the thoughts that I got for a while
I found that every brain goes down memory lane
Hear my name and I'm walking the aisle
Muttering vows
And wondering how
The reminiscing always sitting around
Patiently waiting
For me to be chasing
The bait I won't take it
I'm breaking it down

Lately been feeling like a broken record
Like maybe I'm healing and maybe I'm better
But I can't untether
From moments of pleasure
The grass was greener, the water was wetter
When life gives me lemons I'm closing my eyes and ignoring them
All the good times I'm restoring them
But every second I spend to relive it
The less it gets vivid the more I'm distorting them
I've just been crossing my fingers and hoping
That everything that I bring up isn't coping
But I'm really knowing
If I take a look in my soul and
My heart I can take it apart and expose it
Is time to admit that I'm running away
I shine only if it is another day
The present a gift but it's not where I stay
My paradigm shift then I pray

Departed the old
Departed the past
Started to grow
I started to laugh
It's hard to let go when I'm so attached
Hard to let go but everything pass
Wish it was different
The point that I'm missing
Is moments I lived in I can't get 'em back
Gotta stop grieving
Been lost in my dreams and I drop and release it and leave it at that
Departed denial
I stop and I smile
From dropping the thoughts that I got for a while
I found that every brain goes down memory lane
Hear my name and I'm walking the aisle
Muttering vows
And wondering how
The reminiscing always sitting around
Patiently waiting
For me to be chasing
The bait I won't take it
I'm breaking it down

Cause
On the past I tend to dwell
Can't take back mistakes that I made but oh well
Take a breath and try to get outta my head
I've been gone
I wanna move on instead
I accept the things that I can't change
Don't regret all of the lessons learned and pain
That I felt, been through hell but I'm back
I finally have

Departed the old
Departed the past
Started to grow
I started to laugh
It's hard to let go when I'm so attached
Hard to let go but everything pass
Wish it was different
The point that I'm missing
Is moments I lived in I can't get 'em back
Gotta stop grieving
Been lost in my dreams and I drop and release it and leave it at that
Departed denial
I stop and I smile
From dropping the thoughts that I got for a while
I found that every brain goes down memory lane
Hear my name and I'm walking the aisle
Muttering vows
And wondering how
The reminiscing always sitting around
Patiently waiting
For me to be chasing
The bait I won't take it
I'm breaking it down

Departed the fog
Departed the fear
Started to fall
Now I'm seeing it clear
The mind always racing
My time that I wasted was changing from minutes to days and then years
But not any more now that I've been closing
Up all of the doors I found that were open
The only way forward is pulling the chord on fighting the war
I'm finding the moment
I forget about the rest now my heart is unguarded
Stepped outta the nest, I departed I departed
The memories I leave 'em
No longer do I need 'em
I had to lose it all to find this freedom (freedom)
