Lyrics Thalidomide - Transience

Thalidomide

As I leave this world
As I pass this torch to you
Please forgive me
Please embrace what’s left behind
If I had the time to tell you you’ll be alright
I would
If I had the time to believe we’ll be alright
I would
Please forgive me
Please forgive me one more time
I’m left here to wonder
What it all would have been like
If I had the time to tell you you’ll be alright
I would
If I had the time to reflect on this you know
I would
How I wonder how this life would have played out
If it wasn’t for the stake in my side
Or choices filled with regret
If I had the time to tell you you’ll be alright
I would
If I had the time to believe you’ll be alright
I would
And if I had the time to reflect on this you know
I would
And if I had the time to forgive my bad decisions
I would
Like a bird with a broken wing I lay here
Left behind
Buried but still alive
So much anger
So much frustration
How can this be fair?
Still so much more life to live
I breathe this out
This note to you
A last goodbye
Breathe and ascend
Like a feather in the wind
Up she goes in the light of day
Up she goes forever
