Departure Lyrics by Leighton Bright

Unloose

2019

[Verse 1]
I am just another gay boy playing my game boy
Unaware of the lives that got destroyed
This screen and hard drive just a decoy
Distract from the swan dive and avoid
Pain, we playing the same game
Call it a religion but its just a different name
To escape, the flame and heaven that's ya’ frame
Are easy to proclaim, when we can't see what they became
I saw my mom weep, and my dad speak
And man that lied like my aunt asleep
He said we all sheep, under god's peep
How can you not feel cheap while he playing for keeps
It is peak evangelical, denying the credible
Praise the angelical and pass on the technical
Skip all the skeptical, mute on the medical
Degree and we hereby brand you heretical
Every body a physical miracle
Unless your virus visible, then it was just a lyrical
Not to be taken literal, or thinking of it critical
Just focus on the biblical and spiritual
[Chorus]
It feels like darkness when there is no light in your eyes
I want to hear the truth, stop trying to be polite
You bought a ticket for a height that’s out of sight
And if death is just a plane ride then I hope you miss your flight
[Verse 2]
Let's take a trip to the bottom of a bottle
I wanna feel the whole spirit full throttle
Call me the ex-x-x apostle
No temptation, but I write my own gospel
I've seen plenty kick the bucket
How much rope is in the budget?
See them hanging like a puppet?
People cutting it like fuck it
I've been waiting for the trumpet
When they hit the highest summit
Still remaining while we covet
The lives your god is judging
And they told us rejoice
Trade in your sorrows for joy and enjoy
The fruit of denial employed
Don't give your mourning a voice or stare in the void
So I am angry and annoyed at the lecture
When the story your telling ain't even conjecture
With no evidence and no good gesture
My aunt killed herself how the hell did he protect her?
[Chorus]
It feels like darkness when there is no light in your eyes
I want to hear the truth, stop trying to be polite
You bought a ticket for a height that's out of sight
And if death is just a plane ride then I hope you miss your flight
[Verse 3]
So now I'm living life after, the way of the master
Moving much faster, pushing with no pastor
But when I hit disaster, there’s not another chapter
Belief is not a factor, when nothing really matters
So what am I supposed to say?
Lying to you, promise reunited one day
Tell them I don’t pray, and I hate the display
Of the black and white book while I live in the gray
Ugh I mean I'm living in the rainbow, but they know
Buzzing by the flowers, heard that birds he don’t like those
Sorry for your loss, and the cost of your honey close
Don't believe the hive mind lie that a bee compose
I had to put the cross through the crucible
Examine what is provable and study the refutable
Funny how hell sound juvenile and usual
And everybody go to heaven when you at the funeral
[Chorus]
It feels like darkness when there is no light in your eyes
I want to hear the truth, stop trying to be polite
You bought a ticket for a height thats out of sight
And if death is just a plane ride then I hope you miss your flight
