Departure Lyrics by The Green Leaves

BLEAK

2018

I find myself out of breath from time to time
As I depart all eyes are misty, reflecting on what
Was left behind
I promise I'll visit soon, if only in my dreams
I won't be gone long, even if that's how it seems
The man that I left at the airport grows more
Distant each day
My breathing is labored
I can't breathe the same anymore
My breaths are stuttered
Each inhale and exhale is labored
I manage to force it out
If I heard my wheezing I would see it as a cry for help
Or perhaps that's just what I tell myself
That if I saw someone in my shoes, that I would
Reach a hand out
The worst part is, that I'm surrounded by
People just like me
And no one ever reaches
Did you not believe me when I said time flies?
Just as I touch down I'm headed back again, again
You should have believed me when I said
That time flies
At the end of the day, everybody dies
Treading water with no flotation, my lungs grow tired
So I guess I'll just exhale and never breathe in again
They said:
"Look in the mirror, is this what you wanted?"
I didn't hesitate when I responded
I may have been the only one
I can still hear you saying my name, I hear it
When I close my eyes
As if you were right beside me
Right beside me
I never thought I would find home in a place
So far away
I no longer breathe
