Back to me
I leave my shadow behind
Tears washing Alaska away
Looking out the window
I love to say goodbye

Back to me
Will you want my love
Will you want my forgiveness
I know you have a good heart inside
But I will never again trust you with mine

Back to me
So many only face ahead
Filling their minds with fluff
They choose to be
Zombies wandering aimlessly
Unconscious to what harm they give

Back to me
On route to my familiar ground
I'm whole again
Roots start spreading back beneath

Back to me
No longer trapped on an island in a cage
I watch the mountains shrink below me
From this plane
I'm finally free
To spread my aching wings

Back to me
I'm safe again now
just to be
