[Chorus: Rob Anders]
I'm departing from love
I'm departing from you
I retrace my footsteps
To show you a graveyard
Of things I never said
I'm worried my ghost
Will make the same mistakes
[Verse 1: Rob Anders]
The twitching of my hands
Lets me know I'm alive
In and out of focus
You drag me through the woods
I see the skeletons of trees
Just like me
Holding onto leaves
Until they choose to part
Leaving me alone
Your wind encloses my body
And I know that you will freeze
So let me decompose
I watch as my legs collapse
As I drift below your surface
Let me sink again
I'll rest at the bottom
Flood my lungs as my vision blurs
This distance will show you
Some things are not meant to grow
Some things are not meant to grow
[Rich Johannes]
I, I felt you shake in a fever dream
Cascading love from your bones
As our wounds unraveled at the seams
I don't think I know you anymore
In a garden overgrown
We'll dig a grave to call our home
If severance is a d**h too slow
[Chorus: Rob Anders]
I'm departing from love
I'm departing from you
And for the moment that I am alive
This distance will show you
I retrace my footsteps
To show you a graveyard
Of things I never said
I'm worried my ghost
Will make the same mistakes
[Outro: Rob Anders]
Let me sink again
I rest at the bottom
Flood my lungs
Departing from love
I'm departing from you
Some things are not meant to grow
