Long Gone Lyrics by Psiren

Confidence & Paranoia

2017

[Verse 1]
Looking over everything
From high up on the wall
The treeline spans the distance
I can hardly see beyond
The world threw me it's problems
And I threw 'em all right back
Got tired of living vicariously
Through my pen and pad
The shotgun against my sternum
Said the game was finally through
Well I watched it go and spread my wings
To come on home to you!

[Verse 2]
A circle in the distance
Crowns the faded ebony sky
The shot rang out for miles
Heard the sirens start to cry
As I laid back in that cool October soil
Then I thought...
That I might have had the answer
But that information's lost
And far below down in the city
Cars are screeching through the night
While the gunner laid his life down
On that rusted army knife

[Verse 3]
And I felt the river flowing
All returning to the land
And I spat my bitter loathing out
Releasing it all at last
But just as I began to know
The first moments of peace
A blue clad angel grabbed my neck
And he chose to say his piece
They asked who pulled the trigger
And I swore it wasn't me...

[Chorus]
... Then I laughed and said I lied!
I lied down by the wall
To hear the voices call!
The ghosts of the forest
In summertime
Are all long gone!

[Verse 4]
Well they threw me in a big white box
And took me somewhere safe
I didn't care where we were going
My soul had left that tepid place
And they re-filled that empty basin
With all the contents of their bags
With a needle they resurfaced
All the fissures, cracks, and crags
So they filled me up with dopamine
And isoflurane too
And they sent me off to summer camp
With pills red, white, and blue

[Verse 5]
From there I watched the sunset
Watched the warm hues fade away
'Til it left me with the coldest skies
Of dark blue, black, and gray
And I sat in silent wonder
Of the stories that I knew
And I found myself debating
If a word of them was true
So herein lies the ending
The summit of my fears
The spirits that I chased so long
Won after all these years

[Chorus]
They died!
I lied down by the wall
To hear the voices call!
The ghosts of the forest
In summertime
Are all long gone!

[Outro]
I cried!
I lied down by the wall
To hear the voices call!
The ghosts of the forest
In summertime
Are all long gone!
