The Pavilion (A Long Way Back)

Carry them over your shoulders, you fear The absence, the void you'll cause When you choose to leave them all here There's no turning back, it's time that you steer The wide open stairs back alone at the cusp The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rest You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough Believe me, when I say It's a long way back from here Goodbye for now Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough Oh, can you hear its ringing its left in my ear? Over and over, the light hits the dusk It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road The clamoring hands and the bus you call home This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit The same day repeats with the things that you see Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear? Over and over, the light hits the dusk It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay Goodbye for now, echo, echoes Mile marker, minutes, hours If this is it and there is no more And you believe that's true It's a long way back from here There's no going home Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear? Over and over, the light hits the dusk It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay (Goodbye for now, echo, echoes) Well, then ask me to stay (Goodbye for now, echo, echoes) Well, then ask me to stay (Goodbye for now, echo, echoes) Well, then ask me to stay (Goodbye for now, echo, echoes) Well, then ask me to stay
