Farewell



You ever wrote a whole song on the sand with the waves coming in
No one tried to understand then just put on that grin
Everything was swept away by the ocean so you sat there and cried
Folk passing by thought you were insane but you know that you tried
So much times you gave life your all only to be crushed
You finally found a voice to speak up but you're traumatized of being hushed
So you took all your masterpieces and threw them in the fire
Gave up on all your dreams because of folk that cannot see any higher
