Bright Light Fades
Departure from Familiar Light
Lyrics
You wanted to see what's on my mind
You were curious to know my thoughts or feelings.
So I packed and waved goodbye to sobriety
I prepared to depart from a state of being sober or clear-minded.
Those were days of many lives
Those past moments were diverse and significant.
Warm winter days, no anxiety
Days characterized by comfort and calmness, devoid of worry.
But I've just come to say
I've come here to convey
I am leaving now
I am departing at this moment.
I just don't want to wait
I prefer not to delay.
Til I have to lie
I don't want to wait until I'm compelled to be untruthful.
And I won't stay
And I won't remain or continue here.
I still remember the first time
I still recall the initial occasion.
Late night, a public park it felt exquisite
A late-night experience in a public park that felt exceptional or intense.
Those were days without surprise
Times characterized by predictability and lack of astonishment.
Bright light fades as we fail to go through it
The brilliance or vibrancy diminishes as we struggle to persevere through it.
But I've just come to say
I've come here to convey
I am leaving now
I am departing at this moment.
I just don't want to wait
I prefer not to delay.
Til I have to lie
I don't want to wait until I'm compelled to be untruthful.
And I can't stay
I cannot remain or continue here.
My breath runs out
My energy or capacity is exhausted.
There's no other way
There's no alternative course of action.
I am leaving now
I am departing at this moment.
