white out

[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
