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
