In Solitude

(album: Autotheism - 2012)

Walk with me to my mountain's top
From its vantage point
Is mourning on the faces of those who sleep?

Sleep with no dreams
Sleep with no dreams
Follow me and I will show you where to follow yourself
Follow me and I will show you where to follow yourself

In solitude above
Watching down below
Upon my shoulders
Collecting is the snow

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

The winter of distress
Beneath the weight of knowledge
The frostbitten paths to salvation
Are strewn with unmarked graves

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

And so I wander as the thief in the night
These lonesome footsteps
Steal only your burden
And where its weight lie
I leave the alms of truth
A proclamation falling onto deaf ears

In solitude above
Watching down below
Upon my shoulders
Collecting is the snow

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

The winter of distress
Beneath the weight of knowledge
The frostbitten paths to salvation
Are strewn with unmarked graves

Overwhelmed in a grievous revelation
Peering through exhausted pale eyes
Into darkness, where the antiquated lie

And so I wander as the thief in the night
These lonesome footsteps
Steal only your burden
And where its weight lie
I leave the alms of truth
A proclamation falling onto deaf ears
