Early Departure from Ortolan by ORTOLAN

Nothing is left for me here
What more failure should I fear?
I request of myself a reprieve
Self-sovereignty awards me my leave

I’ve found my passage
My freedom recovered
Repairing the damage
As the ending is ushered
Choosing to exit, refusing to suffer
Leaving this life here now for another
Where may I rest, unbothered?
Granting myself an early departure

Terrified only for those
Left by my side to weep
Watching me in disbelief
Escaping into the night

It stirs the last of me
Reminds me just how weak
How strong I will never be
Retreating, I take flight
I take flight
