A slow decay All around advancing entropy Exposing apple cores and planting seeds A generation stakes its claim One rolls away To abandon moss and apathy To embrace the pull of gravity Live a life outside of shade All I ever wanted was a place where I could stay When examined from up close the mountain would seem far away It's there the thoughts inside my head would match the surrounding space And I'd feel safe A fire escape An exit sign that shines eternally A way of life in an emergency And this city is burning All I ever wanted was a road to carry me Far from blind tradition and predictability My bones have grown eyes have been shown a new world that before me So I must leave So I must leave So I must leave Now I face my body east and begin running I'm climbing over peaks and through vast valleys I never wanted peace it never let me live I'll fight this civil war that's inside of me I'll run from shore to shore fleeing apathy I'll never fall asleep I never will give in I'll face my body east and begin running I'm climbing over peaks and through vast valleys I never wanted peace it never let me live
