lyrics

I’m going to the docks
When the light has left this place for now
So I won’t be found

I’ll ready the sails
I’ll prepare myself to face the sea
And all will be complete

This land is not my home
What will the ocean hold for me?
I guess we’re going to see

You won’t find me here
Not that you would ever fear I had gone
I’m going on

I untie the ropes
Under the shroud of silence and shade I
Let slip a reply

Have you ever noticed?
Have you ever noticed that we never
Let our fruitful endeavors, go uncelebrated

But lest we fall short
In response we ignore it and
Tell ourselves to not sweat the small things

I think you let some of the endeavors
Go unrewarded and let the negatives
Stand out

So I am getting out of this ailing state
I’m leaving on my vessel I won’t be belayed
I have no bearing for my escapade
I won’t wait
