The Pavilion (A Long Way Back)

Carry them over your shoulders, you fear
 The absence, the void you'll cause
 When you choose to leave them all here
 There's no turning back, it's time that you steer
 The wide open stairs back alone at the cusp
 The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rest
 You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough
 Believe me, when I say
 It's a long way back from here
 Goodbye for now
 Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
 Oh, can you hear its ringing its left in my ear?
 Over and over, the light hits the dusk
 It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
 You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
 ♪
 The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road
 The clamoring hands and the bus you call home
 This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit
 The same day repeats with the things that you see
 Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs
 Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead
 
 Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
 Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
 Over and over, the light hits the dusk
 It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
 You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
 
 Goodbye for now, echo, echoes
 Mile marker, minutes, hours
 If this is it and there is no more
 And you believe that's true
 It's a long way back from here
 There's no going home
