lyrics

We'll stray from the darkness & point our eyes towards the light
Homesick as the sun sinks into the mountain
Thruway to the coming as you're poker face stares
Confessions of our secrets kept us moving

Follow like a bullet with intention to dismiss
Recalling all the derision's that made you stumble
Conscious of suspicion that surround your batting eyes
Take my grasp as we drift into the thunder

And I'm going back to my lonesome stay

Sludging through the trail as you lean on the past
Shallow with your nose pointed upward
Extending through the night with the clouds rolling fast
Lost in you're mind pointing skyward

Drowning into the dawn as the sun wakes into the night
Slowly reached for the golden lid of the morning
As the fields soak the suede & the chills ran down our spine
Growling of the gales came without warning

In a rusted creaking shed, kept us sheltered from the rain
Echoes of the tapping filled the silence
With the fleeting of the hours & your voice which stole the time
You called out from the hills for your innocence

Through the winters of our times your words were cold as frost
You're breathe was seen as you left me wondering
Though our crossing was foreseen, still left me crooked and lost
The wincing of your eyes left me staggering

Like a novel that's been written our read will come to an end
Counting the times you've made me useless
Like a stranger in the alley our borrowed time is gone
The steering of the fated keeps me restless
