Departures - Closing Doors
from Split by Departures/ Moose Blood
lyrics
five more steps and i’ll leave this home, i won’t be coming back and deep down i know, that this will be the last time,
and time is running slow, and every footstep that i take makes the loudest sound, closing doors to empty rooms, this
isn’t how i pictured it to be, this is where i used to daydream all my days away, filling in the blanks with stolen
memories, the constant light that i used to stare at outside my window starts to flicker, it can’t be running away, if
there’s nowhere left to run to, it’s just i’ve found another way to get to where i need to be, step outside leaving for the
last time, the air is so much colder than it used to be, that night air it closes in on me, and as i breathe out i can feel
the end beginning, try not to shake as i turn and lock in the door, locking away a life that i fought so hard for, but as
i’m walking away, i know the night belongs to me, this night belongs to me
and time is running slow, and every footstep that i take makes the loudest sound, closing doors to empty rooms, this
isn’t how i pictured it to be, this is where i used to daydream all my days away, filling in the blanks with stolen
memories, the constant light that i used to stare at outside my window starts to flicker, it can’t be running away, if
there’s nowhere left to run to, it’s just i’ve found another way to get to where i need to be, step outside leaving for the
last time, the air is so much colder than it used to be, that night air it closes in on me, and as i breathe out i can feel
the end beginning, try not to shake as i turn and lock in the door, locking away a life that i fought so hard for, but as
i’m walking away, i know the night belongs to me, this night belongs to me
