Townsend

We drove north to the river in the mountains

Holding on and hoping for a lie when we got cold

Then my belongings brought the devil's reins upon us

I lied to you, I lied to you, I'll never be the same

I fake but I don't break

In the night when lonely

I'm taking the long way down

In the car we drove away

We watched the clouds snake

I'm taking the long way down

Within terms of beauty I saw gold that lay before me

The sky between the leaves as I did lay and barely sleep

Then my surroundings became more than just the mountains

A gift laid at my feet and all the power to take and eat

I fake but I don't break

In the night when lonely

I'm taking the long way down

In the car we drove away

We watched the clouds snake

I'm taking the long way down

Brother I don't need you now, I'm heading down, to the ancient gates of old

Brothers we don't need you now, we're heading down, as the fall covers the stone

And we write our names in light

Brothers we don't need you know, I'm heading down

To the ancient gates of old, and I never know what it will be

Oh heaven help me now, we're coming up and we're free from all the scars

And its done babe and we're free but we never found a way

And I know not what I have done, but I have found enlightening from which it comes

I know how and I know why, I know heaven's going to make me go
