Walk, keep walking.
Don't look up, keep walking.
Walk until the grass turns to dirt and the trees turn to shrubs.
Walk until the light dims, so barely alive, burning slowly.
Slower, walk slower
Look back, all you can see is nothing

The flame longs for warmth,
but my mind longs for release.

Please please understand this,
I don't want anything from anyone.
I just want to find that grin again.

You know you're going to keep walking.
It's that voice that won't go away,
and the voice that won't ever come back.
The smile that taunted you barely exists anymore.

Probably gonna keep walking.

Maybe you'll find some shadow friends out in the lonely desert,
they won't want anything from you. But that's what's missing.

You're only walking because you're afraid.
You're only walking because you're scared.
You're only walking because you have to.

But you don't need to.
Just give yourself some room to stop thinking.

Before I start walking, I'm gonna run and never look back.
It's only a matter of time.
Things are only growing stranger here.

I used to live in a white blanket of warm discovery.
And with our eagerness to inter-mingle our minds
infected with curiosity and room to smile,
We were so happy. We were at peace. We just wanted to smile.

Once again I return to the white land,
nothing is ever the same, of course...
But this is just ridiculous.

I miss the Gray.

THUMP BUMP THUMP PUMP
You're growing str(a)nger as you go farther
Maybe one day I'll meet myself again.
