---

Escape the earthly realm at breakaway speed.

Damn the crippling trick that gravity has played on me.

Bounce upward, the sky was never as gray.

Folding water into vapor, floating letters that say.

What goes up will fall down, just not in the same place.

Chorus:

Time has come to decide.

Retain what’s left of pride.

Empty handed I walk away.

Leaving beauty to the blind

If only life were more kind.

What could have been?

In between the swells and fades.

A lost fool found his way.

I am confined to live in this moment.

Imbibe chemicals to punctuate the dreariness.

Inhale my malady to escape from pain.

Demons that haunt me, drive me, destroy me.

Chorus

I leave you everything I worked my life to save.

Benign musings only slightly deranged.

Cast light upon doubt, magnify purity.

Chorus

A noble move to protect a future,

I never thought I would have.

How is this not a win. Fatally applied.

Fear of sin. Please don’t cry.

Celebrate all the things I tried.

Even my failures.

But in the end, this is the best outcome a loser could have hoped for.
