Goodnight&Goodbye Lyrics

It was all decided long ago

Before I even had to chance to be born

Before I grew my wings and went airborne

Strung along by fate until the string snapped underneath the weight

It was all decided long ago

Before I even had to chance to be born

Before I grew my wings and went airborne

Strung along by fate until the string snapped underneath the weight

As an artist, you cater to an audience of sad people who could possibly never be satisfied

Yet the irony is that as an artist, you too are unsatisfied

This is true, yet remains false

Been waiting for a miracle to happen all these years

I'm sitting by the window staring till opportunities disappear

Wishing I could choke the man inside the mirror

He taunts my tattered wings with an audience that cheers

A bird that stays within the cage from the moment it was hatched

Flight is just an illness and the world is sick

Say the songs I sing are like painting words on canvas

But painting is an action not a form of art

All the colors that I choose come straight from my little bleeding heart

As an artist, I can't help but hate the things I chose to make

My music is a big mistake to help my trauma stay repressed

I want more but I could never wish to fly above the rest

But I beg for my freedom

Sulk in my corner in the evening

Branches of the trees seep in

Offer up a place to be nested

But I beg for my freedom

Want to leave this corner that's congested

Spread my wings past suggestion

Finally take flight I crash and burn its depressing

It was all decided long ago

Before I even had to chance to be born

Before I grew my wings and went airborne

Strung along by fate until the string snapped underneath the weight

It was all decided long ago

Before I even had to chance to be born

Before I grew my wings and went airborne

Strung along by fate until the string snapped underneath the weight

The tower of my babel filled to brim with all my secrets

Passage of my life from bibles handed out through corridors

Lower all my vitals rolling up my body in a carpet dousing out the candles

This mansion start to fall apart wallpaper peeling

I'm feeling just so alien inside my own skin

Never picking sides but they all tear me straight to pieces and they taking all the parts that they seem to think they like

I'm bleeding out on top the pavement and my blood corrupt the soil underneath me

Think I finally planted all the roots of evil and I know it stem from me

I fell from straight above the heavens and I headed where it's deep

Everything you fear start to stack up high and it's getting steep

Put a price on my love and it'll never be cheap enough for the people all around me

Toss me far away just like a broken toy hope you all forget about me

Rest in peace here lies saint sleep

Burst into ashes sweep him away

Told me to stay but weep when I speak

Nothing will linger but strife in our words

I'm taking my knife and I cut off my wings

Want to be human I'm singing my hymns

Finally mortal I'm already sick of it

Singing till the lights start to flicker and they go out

What did you expect?

A grand gesture of an ending?

What did you expect?

One big bang for the closing

Time to say goodnight

Time to say goodbye

Make sure you snuff the candles light on your way out

I'll look into your eyes again on the day I finally choose to die
