lyrics

Fare Thee Well

Is this the way you always pictured it to be
When did the stars in your eyes die
New variations on the same old theme
It shouldn’t come as a surprise

One day you think you’re firmly planted to the ground
And you will never need a hand
Then so sudden it creeps up without a sound
And you’re staring down at sinking sand

So before we go
and I never get the chance to say to all I’ve come to know
listen now to me carefully

Fare thee well to all those I love
peace be the journey for you now
I’d love to say I’ll see you up above
But I feel the heat upon my brow

And so you think that you can drown it all away
The flood will be nothing but kind
All it brings is death and decay
And magnifies the darkness in your mind

Pretty soon you find you’re only staring back
The future holds no lasting view
You’re so desperate to make up for what you lack
That you forget what it is to be you

(pre-chorus x2)

(chorus)
