Upon My Departure

When the final bell is rung

And the game's declared over

We speak the words goodbye

And I know it's forever

An empty pit inside my chest

Was more than a small clue

No, you'll never see me again

Something I gotta get used to

But you left much behind

Some peace and vital signs

Food for a busy mind

And souvenirs to hold tight

Just a passenger on your jetliner

Crashing to the ground

But the impact doesn't make a sound

Well, a lesson to be learned

From your departure

Funny thing but when you went away

I lost part of my cure

And now I'm searching hard

Underneath every card

Hoping with best regards

You'll bail me out of this dream state

Oh, but what I feel

Unfortunately is real

Feeling the sting of pain

Not a damn thing can erase the stain

I'm leaving here

And you'll know why when I'm gone

I'm leaving here

Translate your knowledge through this song

I won't forget

Why our words were meant to mesh

Why I'm glad we shared a glass

I gave something to your soul

And you gave me more than you'll ever know

Are my senses clear?

Do I feel it here?

Sometimes the past is insincere
