For Good

I’m doing fine despite my own best efforts

I always catch myself standing in my way

Reinvent this breath with ashes

And burn the part of me afraid to fail

A cloud of smoke to dissipate

No more closed doors on westbound trains

When I leave, I leave for good

Say goodbye to the rust belt paradise

I’m doing fine despite my own best efforts

I build a mountain on every sand dune I climb

Goodbyes at sunrise, before I run out of time

To grow a spark of hope into a wildfire

Watch it burn across the countryside

Time to go before I waste away

No more closed doors on westbound trains

When I leave, I leave for good

Say goodbye to the rust belt paradise

When I leave, I leave for good

Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Two decades and a half tell me to go and not look back

I feel my patience wearing thin when the cold comes creeping in

It’s not the place, it’s not the faces

Something inside me

A restlessness inside my head tells me it’s time to leave

It’s not this place, it’s something inside me

When I leave, I leave for good

Say goodbye to the rust belt paradise

When I leave, I leave for good

Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When I leave, I leave for good

Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
