Take care now, bye-bye then
Sorry, but I’ll have to leave,
‘cause you don’t respect what I believe.
I want to be me, not whatever fake name,
So I’ll burn the script and leave the game.
For so long I wore the masks,
Hid the truth and played my tasks,
But now I live where silence grows its seed,
Far from hunger, far from greed.
I no longer chase what isn’t true,
Or shrink myself to fit your view.
I want to tell my crowd goodbye,
I love you all, but I've faced the lie.
The path is clear, the journey’s mine,
Guided by faith, by the stars that shine.
I took a step back, reclaimed my voice,
And made at last a conscious choice.

Like Ace once said: take care now, bye-bye then,
Today I say: never again.
