La Dispute - A Departure Lyrics
Night fell on me writing this and I ran out of paper so I crossed the nameOut at the top of the page. Not sure why I'm even writing this. But I guessIt feels right. It sort of feels like I have to–like an exorcism.
IGuess that makes me sound crazy but that's alright. Lately I feel like IMight be, not that I've heard any voices or anything. Just like thatEveryday kind, where you forget things you shouldn't and you think too muchAbout death.
Maybe you know what I'm talking about. Or maybe youWould have known? Or had known?
Is it once knew? I don't know whatTense to use.
I know I never used to feel like this. I used to neverThink of death or hear voices. I used to feel like everything was perfectlyIn order, a normal life, but I guess then came a departure.That I know you understand (or would've understood?). I guess thingsChanged after that, and I'm mostly scared now.But it's there in the stories, or whatever they are. You can see it.Anybody could if they could look. I wrote some notes in the marginsExplaining it. The rest is in between lines or in the fine Print. First, The feeling of abandonment, and then trying to cope. Then death and hopeAnd the thing itself, waiting for me. It's all there in the pages ahead ofHere. It's there waiting for you.Or for me. I'm not sure.The whole story.
