Calm and secluded
This place
Evergreen Mountain

Come take me away 

Her charming smile 
The embracing affection
I never thought to question

I could never leave 
She binds me to these highlands

Wander these woods with me
The sun against our faces
The scent of pines in the air

Come take me away
From these sterile faces
Save my soul
I adore you and you only

Come take me away
I beg of you
God
If you can hear anything at all
Hear me now

Let me find her again
Let me see that smile
Those mountains

We could have it all
I meant it

…How naive

This place 
I cannot stand it

Another moment and I might just implode
This restless energy
Directionless

She deserves better

Unrelenting 
ever-waking 
hatred 
for all of… 

this

Whatever happened to those mountains?
That romantic tranquility

If only I could be who I appear
I despise the man in the mirror.
