I need the road

so I can prove there's somewhere else

outside my mind

Is there no fight before the fault in me

cuts through my entirety?

I'm never alone

with nowhere to go

Still believing that time

never wanted the best for me,

it's been the pull of your tide

that's kept this anchor from drowning me

I felt the warm embrace

of a stranger's face

and the love she lent to me

I'm going away for a while

I've harbored thieves

through the chase

and the pain for a ghost who remains

It's your face,

you're all I see

I've been northbound and have constantly found myself in this half life; awake,

grounded by the notion the potion I've been pushing on my body would eventually take

I keep asking myself why you talk to yourself so unlike you would to anyone else?

The fear of regret has me tracing the steps that my shadow couldn't take

Empty handed, but know

I would have given you everything

In keeping hope I have lost

anything worth remembering

There's a storm to brave,

but no one wave

can keep me back

from what it brings

I'm going away for a while

I've harbored thieves

through the chase

and the pain for a ghost who remains

It's your face,

you're all I see

Despite my every try

the past in its disguise

extends its hand,

and pulls me back

reminding me the time

You're everything I know

I've nothing left to show

Just hold me close

and let me go

I'm going away for a while

I have to see

the descent for myself without anyone else

I'm alive

and I'm unafraid
