lyrics

Verse 1:
I'll leave
These empty rooms are void of life
and warmth of touch
Long ago there was a chance they'd be our space
and hold us dear

Time's up
The choice was made by indecisive minds
and now it's up to time to tell
how long that we will be apart
and long for time enough to tell
what we were part of anyway
then part our ways of longing

Back home
I'm saddened by the lies we're sold
to keep us warm
the lies we've told to keep us safe
the safety we've rejected by design
as long as we can safely lie
on damaged signs when we're awake

Time to go
The end is what we made

Chorus:
I'll be gone
(...imprinted on these whispered nights...)
I'll be gone
(...what's on my mind, what needs a light...)

Verse 2:
Lights out
The candle wick betrays your note
Like time, a pool of wax and dusty panes

Fine lines
between the notes, between the trails,
a metaphor I speak to underscore your words

Find the lies
Intrigued by what I offer you
we chance the night, risk our lives
to deconstruct what's in the ground
and hope the morn is more
than what was given up
and mourn the hope I've given up
to stand my ground

Finalise
a final time

Chorus:
I'll be gone
(...forever gone I breathe a sigh...)
I'll be gone
(...let it go into the night...)
