lyrics

Please please shadows, come and take me away
Theres a mountain up ahead, I'm gonna
climb straight up
I'm gonna lay out in the cold and whisper myself to sleep
Been a long time coming but I'll be better when I return.

I want to be alone for awhile and seek out the high.
Gonna keep within myself and look towards the sky
with a canopy over my head, gonna take in all truth.
So please please good friends, take care while I'm away

I swear i will return, there is too much good to stay gone
i swear I'll pray every night for your happiness and your heart
i swear i will be better when next we see each other
We’ll hold each other like lovers, family,and friends

It's taken courage and strength I thought I'd never find
still i traverse the soul and wake myself everyday
the shadows cradle and haunt me all the same
for every instance of comfort, there's a voice in the back of my head
Its full of worry and doubt, creeping like a spider on my chest
Always wanting and descending, and holding me back

Please please shadows, go away from me now
I want to breathe in the dust and all things ahead
gonna find the cracks in the gods and look beyond the vale
gonna find out just where I stand and what I'm made of
make my peace for the morrow and welcome myself home

Please please shadows, don't creep up on me
I'll close my eyes and let it all slide by
All things are changing but I cling to the yellow and the gold
The chill night air brings the weight of worry to bear
Your soul's craving is the warmth you create till the last
My heart will remain strong and true as I can be

Please please good friends, I think on you every night
That your love and your empathy will carry you through the dark.
Oh my God, I'll be better when I return.
Yes Oh my God, I'll be better when I return
Yes Oh my God, I'll be better when I return
