Depart (Part 3)

Loss & Closure

Depart (Part 2)

So you think you have it all figured out, 
Or so you whispered to the stars 
The sea was loud and clear in the background 
It's what you've always been, it must be who you are 

But summer came, and I woke up alone 
A year before, this dark cold room was home

Summer Came

Clear your head of all things but me 
Don't waste your time trying to be free 
You are, and always will be 

You're a feather when you fly, a stone when you fall 
If you go, who will save my soul... 
... and break my heart, when you depart?!

Depart (Part 1)

I can hear the rain falling outside while all the birds and I stay safely covered 
I light up a smoke and reach one arm out, feeling the drops I am so linely but alive 

I will stay burrowed for all the rest of time 
I will stay burrowed for all the rest of time 

I can hear the world falling outside while all the birds and I stay safely burrowed

Burrowed

I don't feel so clean 
I can tell you what it is but what would you get what I mean? 
Probably not. No, not so clean and it's not dirt or the stains on my sleeve 
I should go, I must leave

Lyrics:
Up in smoke my dreams and plans have gone
I watch them fade as smoke and air become one
Three reflections on bodies of glass, sliding down like drops on grass

Freedom is found in bodies of dancers, on the lips of poets, in a painter's hand.
Three reflections of how it should have been, yet still right here we stand

It's been so long, everything has gone so wrong and time at times can be brutally slow
Three reflections of when last the sun did shine, so lay me down in a place I know

Let me protest in objection to each of these reflections because all I see is everything I hoped for and everything I worked for and none of it is me...

To Johannesburg...

Lyrics:
Home is hours from home and I've been wondering if more or less we can make it less coz I fee like I don't belong.

Sleep escapes my tired eyes and I've been wondering "should we stay afloat, or just let go and give in to the undertow?"

There's so many fish in these oceans I don't recognise and I find myself thinking "It's in these southern seasons in reverse, in those electric skies that I find my heart sinking"

Fate is not made by my own hands: the tragedy of my existence.
Should we make the call and end it all and give up this vain resistance?

Oh, there's so many fish in these oceans, love, that I don't recognise and I find myself thing that oh, it's in these southern seasons in reverse, in those electric skies that I find my heart sinking.
