The Long Goodbye - Downpresser

Don’t mistake a fuse for a wick

If death is coming, let it be quick

Light a candle

Curse the darkness

Either way I tried my hardest

Throw away the key

It’s fine by me

See the tears of fear

Beg for it to disappear

Watch hope wither on the vine

It happens every day, the long goodbye

Can you recognize the pain?

Too late to try

You let the moment fly

Too late you turn your head

You know you’ve said

The long goodbye

I’ll keep treading water

Out past the waves

See how far I can get

From this place

No saving grace

Lost all face, fought to erase

Left with the disguise

And it’s no surprise

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Can you recognize the pain?

Too late to try
