Going

Hey where are you going all alone?
Well, I'll tell you all I can
But I'm afraid I might not come back

I wasn't chased away
But home was a real chore
I couldn't cope with all the plain and
Predictable outcomes
A feeling caught my attention
It hurt me just to sit still
The forest had won my affection
So I went and I don't expect you to wait

So here I am
I'm going off alone

Long nights that we have prayed upon the breast of mother nature for
You to come join us, sister, once more
No, don't be frightened, we can pay your debts to your soul, poor and cold
We can carry all your troubles and pass them on to the woods

And as you're lying here
We'll hold your hands and guide you on
Just let your tears fertilize the mud on which we rest
Now look up, look up, fight to keep your eyes open
Really wake up, can you feel the night wanting to pick up
Show itself to us, and as you succumb
Reach in, reach out, to the inner voice you've got
It'll croak out all the things you really want
Let your nerves, take you all apart

Yeah, that's right
I'm in charge of the seasons
I dictate who comes and goes
I'm awake while you're sleeping
I know where all the shadows go
I obey when the wind calls to me
Cause, it's the top of my mental hierarchy
And if you're telling me to come come, well
It's a no cause, I belong now

So here I am
I'm going off alone

Tell me how I sound, am I walking to a new beat?
I'm off the road
Tell me what you found, are you running to a new street?
Made of gold
Do you feel like I've got your attention?
We're going a long way
So don't expect me to wait

Here I am
I'm going off alone
