Goodbye to you, my trusted friends
I'm dead inside so now it's five to when
I'll be heading for the trees
With a rope and trembling knees
No longer eager to appease
Goodbye my friends, it's hard to die
I wished for so much more than was implied
With degradation in the air
Treachery is everywhere
Time to say I wont be there

Goodbye my friends, don't pray for me
Just be a witness to my tragedy
You told me there was right and wrong
I wrote the hate into my song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye my friends, it's hard to die
I never figured out a way of life
Taught to always love and care
Turning pale from my despair
Time to say I wont be there

Goodbye my dream, forget me fast
Nothing here was ever built to last
Always alone in company
I found the evil inside me
To keep me warm in this dead sea
Goodbye my friends, it's hard to die
I feigned a smile for all the worldly lies
Too hard a burden brought to bear
With all the haters everywhere
Time to say I wont be there

We had void, we had shun
We had moments on the run
And the hills that we climbed
Were just moments out of time

We had hate, we had war
We had hopes to reach the shore
But the hopes and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

We had toil, we had pain
We had swindlers in the game
And the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
