There’s different paths you can choose, and uh It’s not a game you can lose, because You meet fakes, you find fools, and then You turn around and meet them again, my friend, and— You took the long way You took the long way You took the long way but you got here, yeah There're different roads you can take, and uh What a difference it makes, because, You hit bumps, you get breaks, and then You turn around and hit them again, my friend, and— You took the long way You took the long way You took the long way but you got here, yeah

There's a whole lot of worry in the world There's a whole lot of worry in this world I know you would change it if you could If you could change it I know you would Benjo Snippet lay down your head Benjo Snippet go to bed There's a whole lot of trouble in this town There's a whole lot of trouble in this town Don't let that trouble get you down What goes around now is gonna come around Benjo Snippet lay down your head Benjo Snippet go to bed Benjo Snippet lay down your head Benjo Snippet you'll ride again

I can’t stop the breeze from blowing And I can’t stop the trees from growing I remember walking with someone I used to know We were talking about the future, but that was a long time ago I can’t stop the leaves from falling And I can’t stop the birds from calling I remember talking about what I don’t know I remember the time I remember the place, you disappeared without a trace If you need me I’ll be outside tinkling It’s how I find relief, it makes me feel alive Suburban lawns, abandoned lots, it’s my view of the world I thought it was the future but that was a long time ago

In the twilight after the firefight We will not return In the mornin' after the dawnin' We will not return Don't lose yourself along the way Don't lose yourself along the way In the moonlight after the space flight We will not return In the evenin' after the grievin' We will not return Don't lose yourself along the way Don't lose yourself along the way

Fall Apart 03:37
I don’t wanna know, how it ends Will the broken boy, walk again? Into the forest – of swaying trees Though its limbs do move most unnaturally Down the wooden steps – they softly creak The fog is taking a shape that cannot be Within his palm a magic pearl Will the thief give up his loot to save the girl? Let’s fall apart, meet again Let’s fall apart, so to amend. Let’s come undone - as if we’ve won – you’ll see Let’s fall apart The tender poet has a soldier on his knees A hunter’s pooling blood, spreads his disease A hollow body lays within the trace Let’s wipe for prints, save October grace Let’s come apart, rewrite the end. Let’s fall apart, meet up again Give the loot - for the girl – in the end you’ll see Let’s fall apart, you and me.

about

Time heals all wounds while distance makes the heart grow fonder. They make us wiser or drive us further apart. Take the long way and take your time.
