Honest Man

With the blink of an eye
Never thought to say goodbye
Still he struggles to the shore
Things aren't changing anymore
Never one to seek the light
Left instead to face the night
The final judgment misconstrued
Solace gained in what they knew

He won't say, what he's waiting for
He won't stray, from what he came here for

The dream allowed him to pretend
This wasn't how he'd meet his end
But soon the legend came to light
The fiction hidden in plain sight
As he learned to live without
Those who knew him had no doubt
This had always been the plan
Set to leave, an honest man

He won't say, what he's waiting for
He won't stray, from what he came here for
