The Last Farewell

All my ties are stretching thin
Just one more step ahead, and it will all be gone!
Downwards, on this road up to the sky
You stand, gazing upon me

Still
The same expression on your face
Like I was never going to leave
And still
The same impression in my chest
Like I was never meant to stay

Self-deceit
Constructed emotions
Deep in me
I've always known the truth
For I
Could never fear the pain of loss
For I
Was always on my own

A landscape of scattered ruin
From bridges you tried to build
To reach the lonely island
On which I was drifting away

Mijn bolster
Als hardnekkige mist
Ondoordringbaar voor haar licht
Gebeiteld in weemoed
Gekluisterd in verdriet
Door koude omhelst
De winter verstild

De klauwen van duisternis
Als hardnekkige mist
Ondoordringbaar voor haar licht
Gebeiteld in weemoed
Versteend in verdriet
Door koude omhelst
De winter verstild
