lyrics

GOODBYE SAMANTHA BLUE:
Hey, baby Blue. It's time for me to move on and start anew.
You're so full of hate, and I'm so ashamed to know you.

Me and you, baby, it's like snowfall in the middle of summer.
I want so to love you, but the halo above you is broken in two.
I need you to know that I was always there
And it's only fair that I make that correction
But right now I'm needing to change my direction.

So goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye to you.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye forever. Goodbye to you.

There comes a time in each person's life to prioritize what matters, what helps.
Is it so selfish to want to feel good about myself?
I wanted to be your warm sanctuary.
An asylum for serenity and free of anxiety
And I thought that you were the same for me.
You told me you were, girl.

At one time I thought I saw something inside you.
I know that I liked you, but I can't remember why.
At one time I thought when I looked in your eyes, I saw understanding. I saw you were shy.
But now I have found every word from your mouth is destructive anger and rust
And right now I'm needing a feeling of comfort.

So goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye to you.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye forever. Goodbye to you.

Once I believed I couldn't be whole without you here
But, in truth, it seems that you have taken a piece of me.
Well, I hope you find something inside the piece that you've received
To transform your life and blossom it into something wonderful.

Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye to you.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye forever. Goodbye, Samantha Blue.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye to you.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye forever. Goodbye, Samantha Blue.

Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye to you.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye forever. Goodbye, Samantha Blue.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye to you.
Goodbye, Samantha. Goodbye forever. Goodbye to you.

Goodbye.

about

Austin Taft Colorado Springs, Colorado

Drummer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist focused on making unique and intriguing music – whatever that should entail. The new album, “Skeletons”, has been self-described as “Prog-Metal-That-Sometimes-Isn't”. The album before that was acoustic-focused.
So...you never know what you're going to get (hopefully).
