gone
You get to feel so guilty, got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won’t go away
You’re holding on to every little thing so tightly
‘Til there’s nothing left for you anyway
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change your name, well that’s okay, it’s necessary
And what you leave behind you don’t miss anyway
Goodbye…
You can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
‘Cause I’m already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn’t want it that much anyway
You’re taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed
Goodbye…
And it’s emotional
Good night…
I’ll be up with the sun
You’re still holding on
I’m not coming down
Drawn, quartered o’er the loamy mire
Never meant to end up here
Not my fate, not this time, never again
Had I heart left for this..
Enjoy your freedom, enjoy your greed
Enjoy everything you find you need
As some find, even own words are not worth heed
Trod the bracken underfoot, stay not amongst the reed
This wasteland of endless sorrow I shall not feed
Not with this verse of endless need
On all I wish a brightened ‘morrow
Past this darkened scrubland, there seems naught left to borrow
Following the winding trail into the forest
Looking for answers, no fruit on these trees
Lost the path, made anew, greatest certainty slain
Found the void, never up, never forward..
Never down.
ah! took me a minute — had to do a google search to figure out it was u2’s 🙂 good song.

Bad
If you twist and turn away.
If you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.
If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.
To let it go and so to find away.
To let it go and so find away.
I’m wide awake.
I’m wide awake, wide awake.
I’m not sleeping.
If you should ask, then maybe
They’d tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go.
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake, wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.
