Mount Eerie - I Walk Lyrics

Mount Eerie Lyrics

"I Walk"

Walking away
Shedding slow the generations
The towns dissolve
In my drumming footfall

But I still carry it all
The livelihoods, the expectations
The cities of never stopping thoughts
So I just still walk
Dragging through stone
Piled alive with associations
Since all time trailing behind me
Back into the mist
I walk until it's all fallen away
Coming into a clearing
There's a pause between the breaths
I look up:

Mist kissed face
Vast grass shuffling
Treeless place
Expanse encircling
The sky on my lips
Fog pulled in slow

Until I too dissipate
Find me blinking at dawn
