white out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I say yes, yes, yes 'Til I'm sick and I say no 'Cause my body's breaking down And I'm ignoring my own soul Turn the lights out on the porch So it looks like no one's home And I'm sitting with my shadow But I'd rather be alone [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause left to my own devices I will tear me down I'll let the snow keep falling Swallow up my sound What's wrong with finding refuge In the whiteout? [Chorus] I'm in the backyard, searching for silence Ignoring the sirens screaming by Moving with caution, I follow my footprints Back to the place I said I wanted to die Am I still here? Tapping the glass on the mirror I'm not lost, well, I don't know Let's say I'm taking the long way home [Verse 2] I put my darkest thoughts on ice Watch 'em drift out on the water I forget the things that weigh me down Can float within another time and space I'm missing days, you can see it on my face I'm so sorry that I'm checking out and pushing you away [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause left to my own devices I will tear me down I'll let the snow keep falling Swallow up my sound What's wrong with finding refuge In the whiteout? [Chorus] I'm in the backyard, searching for silence Ignoring the sirens screaming by Moving with caution, I follow my footprints Back to the place I said I wanted to die Am I still here? Tapping the glass on the mirror I'm not lost, well, I don't know Let's say I'm taking the long way home Taking the long way home [Outro] Taking the long way home Taking the long way home
