I'm gonna go, you can stay here if you want

I'm gonna go, and find some better haunts

All the reasons I have hung around have vanished in the wind

And the memories this place gave me are all now hollow and thin

And the pain of losing her fills this structure to the brim

I'm gonna go, you can stay here if you wish

Words he spoke hung like a body, clothes he wore, a colorless copy

He left there fast, wind through his fingers, swerving between lanes without using blinkers

Once he felt the sting, it spread through everything

He was loose, tethered to no one, breathing fast like it was stolen

Driving north, unsure where's he's going, enjoying the pain of truly not knowing

One he felt the sting, it spread through everything

He ran out of gas, simply didn't notice, his brain demanded all of the focus

He didn't pull over, stopped there in the right lane, moment of silence and he started sobbing

He sprinted like hell, car left on the highway, heart exploding in a glorious bouquet

The brush grows high, he fights his way through it, a desperate plunge through hideouts and ruins

He fell down hard in a pile of apples, rotting together like troops in a battle

Lifted his head and swore he heard singing, the voice of her ghost bubbling forth like a wellspring

One he felt the sting, it spread through everything

From in my shell, I saw a crack, that's when I knew no turning back

A sliver of a way outside, I scratched and clawed with all my might

Thank god it just doesn't go on and on and on and on and on

Though I was weak, I was a thrall to head the future's beck and call

Among the long parade of nights I thought I lost my sense of sight

Thank god it just doesn't go on and on and on and on and on

I've no idea what I will see with a mirror in front of me

I never thought she'd leave my cell, now I forgot how her name is spelled

Thank god it just doesn't go on and on and on and on and on
